Embalming myths debunked 

When families visit our funeral home to make arrangements for their loved ones, one topic that often raises questions- and sometimes eyebrows- is embalming. The practice of embalming, despite being a routine aspect of funeral care, is surrounded by myths and misconceptions that can make it an uncomfortable discussion for some people. As a funeral […]

Let’s talk about direct cremations

Whether it’s because of cost or circumstance, a formal ceremony may not be for everyone. There has been a noticeable movement away from the traditional funeral in recent years with many opting for a Direct Cremation. It may be due to the cost-of-living crisis or indeed the aftermath of Covid when people weren’t able to […]

I cannot thank Leverton Funeral Directors enough, and especially Lorna and her team, for the care, compassion, and professionalism they showed our family at such a difficult time. From the very beginning, Lorna made what felt like an overwhelming process feel manageable. Every step was handled with kindness, patience, and genuine consideration, always taking the time to explain things clearly and never rushing us. Nothing ever felt like too much trouble, and we were always treated with dignity and respect. The whole team showed constant care not just for the arrangements, but for us as a family. Their attention to detail and thoughtful support made a truly painful time that little bit easier to navigate, and for that I will always be grateful. I would wholeheartedly recommend Leverton Funeral Directors to anyone needing compassionate, reassuring support during the loss of a loved one. Lorna and her team truly go above and beyond.

Kathryn and Kirsty were excellent in arranging my brother’s funeral and looking after us. Everything went so smoothly and the Funeral itself was carried out with both dignity and efficiency.The friendly and personal touch was always there and I shall always be grateful for their care and understanding.

My aunt died quite unexpectedly and although I had been to funerals organised by Levertons before this was the first time I had to arrange one myself. I was nervous about meeting my aunt’s requests but Michael at Levertons made sure everything she wanted was catered for and we all as a family were left feeling completely safe and confident that my aunts requests were being met. On the day of the funeral everyone from Levertons was professional extremely polite and respectful. Grief is personal and organising a funeral can be daunting but Levertons gave us a highly professional service while also showing kindness and compassion at an extremely difficult time. This was something as a family we are all very grateful for

Levertons conducted the funeral for my late mother and shortly afterwards one for my late father. Mr Drew Rush from their Golders Green office was exceptional helpful: quietly explaining the decisions needed to my father, me and my siblings, allowing us the time to work through the logistics and helping us to hold a lovely set of services. No level of strange request seemed to phase him, and he was exceptionally resourceful. The organisation on the days was exemplary. I would wholeheartedly recommend Levertons.

Mark at Levertons helped me with every detail of creating a wonderful service for the late Rajesh (Kiki). I felt nothing was too much trouble and the attention to detail was excellent. Communication and compassion was just what I needed during this difficult time. Thank you Mark for understanding and being so kind.
