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.

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.
