Scott’s help was invaluable, liaising with registrars, enabling us to proceed on time with the funeral. On the day their care, kindness and professionalism helped the family through a difficult time.

About Us

Built in 1974 on the site of the Old Runge Hall in Culling Road, the F.A. Albin & Sons head office was built to serve the community and has every facility to assist families at the time of bereavement.

The premises are located in close proximity to the public transport system and have allocated spaces for customer parking. Facilities include eight chapels of rest, a large garage to accommodate our modern fleet, a comprehensive mortuary, a museum as well as administration offices.
Also located at Culling Road is F.A. Albin & Sons' memorial garden, which consists of a large number of niches for families to inter the ashes of their loved ones, boulder plaques, wall and vase plaques where flowers can be placed. All remembrance opportunities are open to everyone so you will not be required to retain ashes in order to dedicate a memorial.

Funeral directors Jonathan and Simon Dyer are responsible for the branch and are available Monday to Friday from 9 am to 5 pm, on Saturdays from 9 am to 2 pm and on Sundays from 10 am to 12 pm. The company operates a 24 hour on call response outside normal working hours.
Our office serves all of the M25 area.

The Albin family first worked as wardens of the Bermondsey cemetery over 200 years ago, to then start serving the community as funeral directors.

    The care from the first moment I rang Simon was excellent and very professional by all members of staff. They looked after my daughter with compassion and love. Chrissy & Jo was always so caring and welcoming. George who lead the funeral and his colleagues shown so much respect to my daughter and all guests. Everything was explained and asked if that was what we wanted before being carried out. Albins & Son are a wonderful compassionate caring organisation and would highly recommend them. Thank you so much for making my daughter's day so special.

    F.A. Albin & Sons went above and beyond. The entire funeral was handled with care, empathy and respect. 

    The team on the day were kind and gave my father a great send off. 

    Planning the funeral with Scott felt hassle-free and respectful. 

    Also the Chapel of Rest at Cullen Road makes seeing loved ones prior to funeral feel peaceful. Every aspect of Albins made this time easier and allow us to focus on saying goodbye and giving my Dad a great send off.

    Albins gave a 5 star service, right from the moment we called them at 3am to ask them to come and take Christine's body into their care to the end of the funeral proceedings. The family's wishes were followed to the letter in a dignified and uplifting way and the funeral day was carried out smoothly in a totally professional and sympathetic way. Expenses were open and reasonable and there were no surprise hidden costs. Thank you Simon and George and all your staff!!

    Each one of you, via the role that you play at Albins, has held our family's hand through our journey of loss. We feel loved and supported by all of you. No other family is quite like the Albins one. What an incredibly important and tender role you play in the lives of so many.

    Sending love and thanks from our family to yours

  • 5 Derek Brooks 15th Feb 2022

    Simon and the whole of the staff simply exude class. Their limousines and uniforms are immaculate. The little things like Red carpet's when you get into the limousines, their kindness and compassion is something else. They made a sad occasion one never to be forgotten. Overall fantastic. Derek and Lorraine Brooks

  • 5 Rai Mitchell 14th Feb 2022

    Kindness, respect, care, time, all these things were extended to us as soon as we rang to make an appointment.  From that moment on we received all these things and more.  Nothing is too much, whatever you ask Albins go the extra mile to make sure it is delivered if it is within their power.  The whole procedure was made so much simpler and bearable by our appointed representative Caroline. On the day of the funeral everything was taken care of with such professionalism by Jamie and his colleagues.  Although it was a sad day it was made easy by all of the Albin staff.  We can’t thank you all enough.

  • 5 Valerie Baker 11th Feb 2022

  • 5 Lorna Oates 25th Jan 2022

    The services provided by F.A.Albin & Sons was exemplary. From the first contact just after Mark had passed away, to the funeral itself. Nothing is too much trouble and they accommodated our special wishes with good grace. They have been courteous and professional throughout. The hearse and the cars are top notch and every member of the team looked pristine. They certainly helped to make the whole day feel so special. No-one can match Albins for quality and care. They really are the Number 1 funeral directors. 
    Thankyou to Simon and his team.
