Urns

Urns are available in all kinds of materials from steel to alabaster, salt and papier-mache. They come in designs to suit every taste. Urns can be used to keep ashes in perpetuity, for burial or simply to transport the ashes to the place they will be scattered.

Ashes are often kept in a plain plastic urn unless a specific urn has been ordered in advance. We can provide sturdy eco-friendly boxes as an alternative to plastic.

Keepsakes or ‘tokens’ are a small amount of ashes in a miniature container. People occasionally wish to retain a small amount of ashes after scattering most of them in a designated place. Sometimes a token may be sent to someone close who was unable to attend the funeral.

There are also craftspeople who incorporate ashes into glass pendants or objects, or even make them into diamonds and fireworks.

You can order any of these urns before or after the funeral. If you choose to transfer ashes into a different urn at a later date, we are happy to do that for you.

The Scatter tubes can come in a wide variety of designs to choose from but we can also provide, for an additional cost, personalised scatter tubes using any pictures you would like. The urns shown here are just a few examples of what can be provided. Please contact us to discuss the options.

The funeral arrangements were handled with great sensitivity. We could not have been happier with the service provided by Craig and the team at Leverton's Belsize Park. At a time of sadness they were supportive, considerate and just what was needed in difficult circumstances. We have no hesitation in recommending their services

Arranging a funeral is always going to be an unpleasant burden at a difficult time, but the experience with Leverton's Muswell Hill office was hugely helpful and supportive. I cannot recommend them more highly on every aspect of the process. They listen carefully, make excellent and well-timed suggestions and support the planning process with flexibility and sensitivity. At the funeral service itself they were discreet and thoroughly professional throughout. To the extent that this would ever be a positive experience, I do not believe that any firm could have done a better job, and I would not hesitate to recommend them as an absolutely top class service

I recently had the experience of working with Deborah at Leverton & Sons during a profoundly difficult time, and I cannot express enough gratitude for the excellent support and care Deborah and team provided. Deborah demonstrated kindness and thoughtfulness that immediately put us at ease, she approached every aspect with an understanding that felt both personal and compassionate. Deborah and her team were incredibly efficient throughout the entire process, explaining all the options, working on the schedule and flow, handling intricate details whilst allowing us the space to grieve. I wholeheartedly recommend Deborah at Leverton & Sons to anyone seeking compassionate and skilled assistance and kindness. Thank you Deborah.

I was extremely pleased with the advice, help and services received from Leverton & Sons at Kentish Town Road. Lorna Walkden, Funeral Director was very kind and made everything very clear and straightforward. The staff on the day of the funeral were very respectful and everything went according to plan. I would thoroughly recommend Leverton's.

Deborah and the team at Leverton Muswell Hill were perfect at helping us through the difficult time of arranging our mother’s funeral. Kind, professional, thoughtful, empathetic and efficient – everything we needed. I can’t recommend them too highly.
