I felt very well supported by Levertons and Craig in particular, as I went through the process of arranging my mother's funeral. Everything was considered from arrangements with the church and the vicar to the order of service and the flowers. Levertons could not have been more efficient or kinder.

Lorna from Leverton and Sons , Kentish Town was very sympathetic and helpful from the initial first phone call to following up after the funeral. She guided us through every step and the service on the day went as planned.

I can't recommend Leverton&Sons enough. When my father passed away on the 5th Feb me and my sister searched for a funeral home we thought would be suitable for my father. We checked 3 different ones and Leverton&Sons made us feel comfortable and supported. Lorna was amazing, really supportive and had all the knowledge of how to handle the funeral. We had loads of questions and was at lost, as this was the first death in the family we had to deal with and she accomdated to every question and need. The service we had for our father was beautiful and we couldn't have done this without the help and knowledge from Levertons. Going through grief is a big thing especially when you have to worry about the formalities of a funeral but Levertons, especially Lorna made it easy for us to understand and to plan out what we needed to do to help give our father a send off he deserved. I'm really happy we chose Levertons. 100% would recommend using them.

My family and friends have been using Levertons for over 50 years due to their excellent service. On my recent visit to arrange my Mum's cremation it was dealt with by Lorna who has a very kind, caring and professional manner. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Levertons.

Funeral of my 2nd Cousin Jamie Knight. James was fantastic. Caring, helpful, professional- reasonable cost, but CANNOT BE FALTERED. Service sheet compilation, Crem funeral and memorial service great. Adaptable and willing to guide me, I was the contact, through the complexity in this sad time. I would change nothing. All I can end with is, THANK YOU. Frank Illingworth
