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 […]

Deborah and the whole team at Levertons were truly wonderful. The care, thoughtfulness and indeed effeciency throughout the whole process was exemplary. We cannot recommend them highly enough. They helped to make a very sad situation much more bearable.

Leverton helped me organise a very unusual funeral for my 96 yr father. His funeral was delayed by 4 weeks in order to give all family members worldwide the opportunity to attend. He therefore was embalmed but we wanted to have 3 days available, so that all the family could take the opportunity to see him privately immediately before the funeral, so he had to have a special embalming. He was buried in our garden in north London so Leverton kindly organised everything for us. Andrew, one of the Directors was extremely kind, thoughtful and professional and we could not have had a better service. I would highly recommend Leverton’s as your funeral agent, they were magnificent in every possible way 10 out of 10!

Recently, I dealt with the sudden and tragic death and funeral of a close family member, and was upset and shocked at the news of her unexpected passing. Fortunately, Laverson were outstanding in their support and help before, during and after the funeral. They carried out the whole process with calmness, consideration and great kindness. I am extremely grateful to them for their dedication and sensitivity and I would be absolutely lost without them. Thanks especially to Carmel who was a patient and superb professional at all times.

Leverton's staff have always been kind and professional. They give good advice when needed. They offer a personal service that is really appreciated when going through a difficult time like losing a loved one. They make a difficult time, dealing with difficult decisions much lighter. Thank you Leverton's - especially Julie!

We were extremely grateful for the excellent support and assistance we received from Levertons. Lorna from the Kentish Town Branch made herself available to guide us and answer all our questions. As a family we felt that Levertons went the extra mile to ensure that everything was done to our satisfaction. I would highly recommend them to anyone who loses a family member. I would give them 11 out of 10 for their service.

The team at Leverton & Sons are incredible. We worked with Craig Parker who could not have been more friendly and professional. There is not one element of the service provided that we could find a fault with. We hope to not need to, of course, but if we do require funeral services again any time soon we will most certainly be working with Craig and Leverton & Sons again. Thank you very much Craig and team.
