Clive joined his family working for Levertons in 1959. He worked alongside brother Keith, father Ivor and uncle Chris Leverton and the rest of the team until he left to work for himself in the building profession in 1969. Re-joining in 1975, the experience he had gained and brought to the firm proved very useful in developing and growing the firm.
Clive then worked his way up with brother Keith to become Director and subsequently Chairman of the company with daughter Pippa and Hannah and nephew Andrew also joining later. Always learning and wanting to bring high standards to the profession, he has a Diploma in Funeral Directing and was a founder member of SAIF (Society of Allied Independent Funeral Directors) which has now reached over 1,000 members. Over the years Clive has made and is well known for many contributions to the firm and profession, most notably pioneering the first all-electric hearse made in the UK. He is also Trustee and Chairman of the St Pancras Welfare Trust which supports those most in need in the old metropolitan borough of St Pancras, Camden. He officially retired in 2020 aged 77 but still works as a consultant behind the scenes to support where needed.
Clive takes great satisfaction in lifting the load of bereavement by dealing with all the practicalities following a death to allow families to mourn without distraction.
He spends his spare time with family or at the allotment and is proud that Leverton’s co- sponsor Haringey Rugby Football Club including the Ladies Teams.
James and colleagues made a really challenging period for our family significantly less stressful with their incredible thoughtfulness, kindness and understanding of our needs. They were super attentive and respectful throughout. They gently guided us through the journey, always super communicative. We can not thank James and team enough for all their qualities as mentioned and making the day as beautiful as it could have been. Thanks again guys, from the all the family.

Leverton & Sons looked after us when our mother passed in October 2016, and once again, when our father passed in September 2024. They are the most patient and professional people. They never once tried to upsell any extra services. Julie, thank you for your patience when we grew frustrated with it all. And, most of all, thank you for looking after both our parents with such dignity.

Very professional and thoughtful throughout, at a difficult time for anyone. I have no criticisms. Indeed I specifically reported to my family the high quality of the service that Leverton and Sons provides. Mark dealt with our arrangements, and he and the other staff were consistently kind.

I want to express my heartfelt gratitude for the support you provided during this difficult time. You were all truly fantastic. The passing of my aunt was unexpected, and while I was stuck in Trinidad, one of her neighbors recommended you to me. From the very beginning, you held my hand, guiding me step by step and addressing all my questions with patience and care. You asked thoughtful questions that I hadn't even considered, and your presence at the service was invaluable, as we were unsure of what to do. Your coordination with the coroner and cremation site was seamless, and I am genuinely grateful for everything you did. Although I don't reside in the UK, I will certainly recommend your services to others, even if it’s rare for me to do so. Everything went so smoothly, and I truly appreciate your understanding of my situation as someone living abroad. The empathy and care you showed were unexpected and deeply appreciated. Thank you once again for everything.
