Your Choice of Funeral

Funerals in the 21st Century reflect the many changes in the profile of the society in which we live.

We ensure that individual requests are reflected in the funeral arrangements of each individual client.

Please see the list below for some examples of the different types of funeral which we provide and click on each for more information:

Direct and Simple Cremation
This pared-down service is designed for people who do not want a ceremony at the time of the cremation. The cremated remains can be returned to the family and a memorial service can be held at a later date. This type of funeral is the simplest and least expensive we offer, given that there is no formal ceremony at the committal.

Wakes
Levertons can advise you on venues and caterers in the areas in which we work for all types and styles of receptions and wakes. At our Head Office in Camden, we also have a space which is used for vigils or celebrations with the coffin open or closed. It comfortably accommodates up to 20 people at any one time.

Eco Friendly Funerals
Thankfully, funeral directors are now able to offer much more eco-friendly funeral options and we can offer many services which make much greener choices in terms of the environment. These include our Eco-hearse and coffins. We use the word ‘greener’ rather than ‘green’ very consciously. The carbon footprint of a funeral can be reduced in a variety of different ways.

Eco-Hearse
We pioneered the UK’s first all-electric Eco-Hearse in 2013. Nine years later in July 2022 we took delivery of our first full-size electric Nissan hearse. These hearses have proven popular with our clients, providing the option of a modern and environmentally friendly funeral in and around London.

Horse-drawn Hearse
Some people like to use a horse-drawn hearse for a funeral. Levertons uses a perfectly schooled team of horse breed - the Belgian Blacks. For the horse-drawn hearse it is possible to have a pair of horses or a team of four horses. You can choose between black or grey horses and we can guide you through the options.

Traditional Funerals
We have many options and suggestions we can make to you for a more traditional funeral style. As an example in terms of our transport, these include the use of our Jaguar limousines and hearses as our more traditional funeral transport. Others also like to include traditions such as having a funeral director walking and leading the way ahead of the hearse in a top hat. There are many options available to you which we can discuss.

Embalming and Viewing
Seeing a person again after they have died can be very important to some people, but not at all to others. It is important that a deceased person is presented for viewing in the best possible way and embalming can help with this. Embalming is a process of temporary preservation using the arterial system to distribute a solution of formaldehyde.

Cultures and Religions
With many years' of experience in a multi-cultural city, we have conducted funerals for all the major religions and many lesser-known traditions too as well as non-religious funerals. As a company, we represent no single culture, race, religion or nationality and will assist you in whatever requirements you have.

Themed, Bespoke & Custom Funerals
We are here to assist you in creating whatever funeral and day of remembrance is appropriate - however individual your requests may be. We can help you to create a funeral that reflects a person’s particular life passions or hobbies. Themes have included military, football, music, fashion, motorcycles or just asking people to dress in a specific colour.
Learn more
Humanist & Non-Religious Funerals
There is no requirement for funeral services to be religion-based. Many people prefer there to be no religious content in the funeral and there are trained celebrants available that can arrange and lead a non-religious funeral ceremony. Whilst the term ‘humanist funeral’ is often used to describe a non-religious funeral, a humanist funeral will make no allowance for any religious elements within the ceremony.

Levertons were absolutely fantastic in dealing with my dads funeral, nothing was too much for them, in fact they went above and beyond. Lorna is fabulous, compassionate and responsive. Would definitely recommend.

I would like to say a very warm and heartfelt thank you for looking after my beloved mother. From the moment you collected her at home, her viewing at Kentish Town and her journey to her resting place you all showed so much kindness and compassion. Your professionalism and attention to detail didn’t go unnoticed and I am very grateful. You made a very difficult time for myself and my family somewhat bearable. Again thank you all so much and God Bless.

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.

Leverton & Sons Belsize Park - were friendly, professional and sensitive at this very difficult time in our lives. We have used them before and highly recommend their services.

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!!
