Our branch in Great Chart, just outside of Ashford is within a beautiful converted barn on New Street farm which was previously a fully working farm. When visiting Albany you can be assured of a warm welcome in peaceful and relaxing surroundings. As you can see our bereavement dog, Pix, rather likes standing at the front door watching the world go by. Please contact us on 01233 650746 if you require further information. ... See MoreSee Less

Rather than a traditional service did you know you can organise an unattended cremation? For some the formal ceremony at a crematorium is not feasible, too costly, unbearable or has no meaning in a space that can feel disconnected to the person who died. An unattended cremation enables you to arrange a celebration of your loved one’s life at a venue of your own choice where you can say goodbye with scattering of ashes, or not.This type of memorial gives you the opportunity, with more time and space, to add personal and creative aspects to saying farewell. At Albany we embrace this option wholeheartedly, there are so many ways of saying goodbye, we want people to know there are choices and families do not have to be constricted by tradition. The images are of an unattended cremation, at all times our staff and the staff at Vinters Park Crematorium treat the departed with peaceful dignity.In this instance the family held an afternoon tea around the coffin in the beautiful lounge space at our Ashford premises, they shared laughter, anecdotes and photographs whilst listening to favourite songs and reminiscing, it was a very special afternoon. (Photos shared with permission and government guidelines were observed). ... See MoreSee Less

On the day Peter retired he popped his hat and cane here and we have not moved them since. We still call out good morning to him! Peter was integral to the team when we started but he’s now enjoying retirement to the full. We are very fortunate to be surrounded and supported by a wonderful team. ... See MoreSee Less
