What looks different now

Since last week, if you walk by any of our branches you will see a Price List in each of the windows. You will also find this in a larger poster format inside our reception areas along with another poster containing other information about current crematorium prices, ownership disclosure and terms of business. All of this is available to download from our website, via email request and in paper format from our branches/post.

It may look a bit ‘up front’ and perhaps jarring to have prices brought to clients’ attention so quickly before we are able to have a conversation. However, it is now mandatory to display our information in this way as new regulation has come into effect across the profession introduced by the Competition and Markets Authority (CMA).

This is a move by the CMA to make pricing and ownership more transparent and accessible to clients and we think this can only be a good thing. Good and reputable funeral directors are already doing this. As a company we have always provided online and printed price lists in easily accessible formats and have in fact been recognised for the level of transparency and clarity in which we present our information. As early adopters of a company website within the profession we have always listed our prices along with our services and are committed to presenting them clearly.

You will still be able to find our full – what we call ‘Comprehensive’ price list which has all of the services and fees itemised. However, what you will see on our window and reception posters are our prices presented in a Standardised format as required by the regulation. The purpose of this is to enable clients to compare Funeral Directors prices by displaying simple funeral service options in the same way throughout the profession.

We still feel, as with all of our services, that it’s important that we are able to explain and take you through the options that are right for you. Listing items is helpful but every funeral is different and listening to the bereaved and tailoring what each family needs, enables us to show you what is applicable and suitable. It can often be a lot of information to process at a very difficult time and the new formats still require explanation and conversation. This is central to our role and where our relationship based on trust begins.

We are still proudly independently owned, and managed, by our family – as we have been since 1789 and are happy to confirm this in our Mandatory Information posters.

Please do and come in or phone to chat to us if you would like to know more about us or our pricing and the services that we provide. As always without obligation or any pressure.

Levertons was recommended to me by a friend who had employed the firm several years earlier and, as he had advised, I found them to be helpful and well-prepared throughout the weeks prior to my wife's funeral. This was a very difficult and anxious period but Levertons always ready with thoughtful and appropriate advice and their very long experience was apparent from the very beginning. They provide an excellent service and I would not hesitate to use them again in the future.

Levertons handled my father's funeral and were very helpful and considerate. The church and crematorium services and transport all ran very smoothly.

Excellent. I can’t speak highly enough of James . From the first time we met him, he made us feel comfortable, guiding us through every step of the way for our brother’s funeral. Nothing was too much giving us time and advice . A pleasure to meet the team from Camden . We would not hesitate to use such a wonderful place in the future. Thank you, you helped make a very emotional day perfect.

Definitely 5 Star!! Very efficient and well organised. The funeral was for my brother, who passed away in November 2024. The funeral was planned and conducted by Leverton & Sons Ltd, Kentish Town Road. I just want to say ‘Thank you’ to Lorna and also to the celebrant, Rosalie. Both of them were absolutely excellent and outstanding!! Their friendly approach, kindness, offers of support and professionalism have made a difficult event to run so smoothly. Despite the difficulty of the event, both Lorna and Rosalie have made it feel so easy to go through all of the planning stages and the actual funeral ceremony itself. Thank you so much!! A very satisfied customer!!

Deborah and her team at Leverton Muswell Hill were absolutely brilliant from start to finish in helping to lay my late brother to rest. I’m so glad we entrusted her and she didn’t disappoint. Deborah was helpful professional and even sign posted me to grief support services. Thank you so much (The Dickson / Jones Family)

I recently used Leverton & Sons Ltd Funeral Directors in Camden Town, and I cannot speak highly enough of the service we received. From the very first point of enquiry, James was incredibly helpful. He took the time to explain everything clearly, provided a detailed breakdown of costs, and made the decision-making process much easier. It was a more affordable option compared to others, and we felt confident choosing Levertons. James went above and beyond, even offering support and advice on sending the ashes to Portugal, which was something we needed help with. Throughout the entire process, he was professional, always available to answer questions, and made everything as smooth as possible during a very difficult time. I would highly recommend Leverton & Sons for their professionalism, affordability, and excellent customer care. If you're looking for someone who is not only knowledgeable but also compassionate and willing to assist at every step, I would suggest choosing James. He was exceptional, friendly, and always willing to help.
