Levertons Since 1789
Leverton and Sons has been a family owned company of funeral directors based within the St Pancras area of London since 1789. Leases dating from 1789 show John Leverton of Henry Street buying land and selling the houses he built on them. At this time, funeral work was conducted by local carpenters “undertaking” to make the coffins and transport the body.

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.

Lorna was very professional and very kind. Explained the whole sad process very well and guided me through the steps that needed to be done. The extra comfort was that the crematorium was local so I could attend. Really took out the stress of it.

Levertons in Kentish Town arranged my mother's funeral. I spent a lot of time on the arrangements with Lorna who was so patient, helpful and caring during that very stressful time. And everyone involved was very professional and respectful.
