East and West Malling

Welcome to Albany Funerals – Traditional – Modern – Low-Cost Funerals

Local funeral services located a short drive from East Malling and West Malling and surrounding villages
People are not longer tied to their nearest funeral director in the way they once were. A lot of the families we support now come to us from across Kent and further afield, having taken the time to look into how we work. Over the years, most of our growth has simply come from people recommending us after their own experience.

Our recommendation in the Good Funeral Guide and recognition in national awards reflect the standard we hold ourselves to: honest, thoughtful, and genuinely personal funerals.

We believe there is such a thing as a good funeral — a meaningful, personal way to say goodbye and reflect a life. Too often, people come away feeling it could have been better. We want more families across Kent to have that better experience.

At a time when everything can feel overwhelming, we’re here to guide you through the options, helping you make choices that feel right for you and for the person who has died.

Office hours: Monday to Friday, 9:00am – 5:00pm (by appointment)

Here’s what the Good Funeral Guide says about us:

“Jo will arrange exactly the funeral you want. Albany are unique in the area in being perfectly able to provide either a completely traditional funeral, or a totally bespoke one. If it’s a traditional funeral that you want, you can be reassured that the turnout is as smart as it gets. And if you want a very personal, individual event then Jo will be able to offer you as many suggestions as you feel comfortable with. You’ll never be overwhelmed though, she’s exceptionally good at listening to people and understanding what they need from her.” …. “The funeral home is bright, well-lit, civilised and unusually tastefully decorated, painted in soft, neutral colours – the sort of place that really puts you at your ease. It’s like walking into someone’s home. The room in which you make arrangements is furnished with sofas and armchairs, and this tells you that you have all the time you need. There’s a lovely chapel of rest, spacious and serene, lit by lots of candles.”

Venues

We can hold ceremonies for up to about 10 people in our beautiful and serene chapel of rest at our premises, which offers a real alternative for those who do not want to go to a church or crematorium for smaller groups.  Alternatively we can arrange for your ceremony to take place at a venue of your choice, or one that we can suggest.  These types of bespoke funerals usually cost around the same as a traditional funeral with a double slot at the crematorium.
