Direct and Simple Cremation

Cremation offers a flexible, cost-effective alternative to traditional burial. It is an excellent choice for those who wish to keep the funeral process simple, allowing their family to celebrate their life in their own way, when they are ready.

Our Cremation Options

Direct Cremation

Direct Cremation can often be explained best as a pared-down service designed for people who do not want a ceremony and will not attend at the time of the cremation, offering the most affordable option if no mourners wish to be present at the committal.

Our unattended Direct Cremation price is £1,395.

A medical certificate may be required for an additional £82 unless the death is a coroner's case, or the requirement is waived for some other reason.

Includes:
• In office hours removal of deceased from any place of death within the M25
• Care of the body prior to the funeral
• A simple coffin (Brook)
• Transportation of the coffin to the crematorium
• Assistance in completing all the necessary paperwork
• No attendance at the committal
• The crematorium fee

Simple Cremation for those that want to be able to attend. The cremated remains can be returned to the family and a memorial service can be held at a later date.

The committal can take place at Golders Green, St Marylebone, Islington, or West London Crematorium. Other Crematoriums are available for an additional fee. Attendance of mourners at the committal with music if preferred (no service). Chapel time 9.30am or 10am (depending on availability) Monday to Friday.

Lorna Walkden at Leverton and Sons Ltd did an excellent job on helping with the funeral arrangements for my godmother. Everything worked as planned and I am very happy to recommend both Lorna Walkden and Leverton and Sons Ltd for funeral services.

We had faultless service throughout from the team at Levertons Golders Green. The advice and help they offered at every stage was invaluable, and the care, calm and respect that came with it was greatly appreciated. From the first stages of planning to the day itself, it was a remarkably stress-free process - and the whole family was delighted with how the funeral went. We offer our thanks and highest recommendation.

Levertons were excellent and I would not hesitate to recommend them. They made excellent recommendations and went above and beyond in giving my late mother a great send off.

Levertons managed my late mother’s funeral with great care. They coordinated very well with the vicar at St Judes, Hampstead Garden Suburb to find suitable dates and recommended a fabulous florist and a brilliant creative printer for the brochure. A wonderful and moving surprise was the slow walk of the two lady vicars ( Rev Emily Kolltveit ) and Leverton’s Drew Rush in front of the hearse down Meadway to the crematorium after the church service. Holding up the traffic ! My mother would have loved this ! And it was unexpected and moving as my children walked along side. Thank you!

As a family, we have used Levertons for over two decades, and in recent years, Michael Cooney has been my principal point of contact. They have always been superb in every aspect and the service they provided to us on each occasion was simply faultless.

Deborah and her team at Levertons Muswell Hill were absolutely fantastic in arranging and managing my mum's celebration of life. No request was too much and the day was a perfect send off. At such a difficult time, Deborah's professionalism and guidance ensured that we all felt supported and cared for. I couldn't recommend Levertons highly enough.

From when I first met Lorna her sensitivity and professionalism was superb. Myself and my sisters were kept up to date on every aspect. There was no rush or pressure to organise our brothers funeral everything was exceptional at a very difficult time. On the day of the funeral all the staff involved were excellent. Thank you so much for making a difficult time more easier to deal with.

Levertons has a great reputation for a reason. We were so looked after by them, at a really difficult time. Lorna was fabulous and I can't thank her enough

Levertons, and particularly Lorna Walkden, provided a 5star assistance with my mother's funeral. Caring and empathic, the whole experience was made a little easier for me with their guidance and expertise. Big shout out too for Jonathan, the celebrant that was recommended, who led the service with compassion and kindness.
