Albany Funerals is an award-winning, affordable and independent funeral provider, bringing the highest standards of service to families across the whole of Kent, and beyond.

We are led by Jo Williamson (formerly Loveridge) and we have grown significantly over the last decade as more and more families recommend how we work to others. We are not very good at talking about death in this country and over half the UK population haven’t discussed any of their wishes with their families before they die. Bereavement is hard enough to navigate without the added stress of not knowing what to do, second guessing a loved-ones wishes, and finding little clear information out there. We are here to help. Please don’t hesitate to call us for information, questions, or even general queries. If you prefer to read, we hope you find this website informative.
