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

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!!
