Our latest new Electric Hearse has joined our fleet

We, in partnership with designer Steve Cousins, 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.

This new electric hearse is based on a Nissan Leaf. The additional construction is made of recycled carbon fibre which means it weighs only 3% more than the original car. Its zero emissions battery can easily manage woodland burials in the home counties and can travel up to 200 miles on a single charge.

We also have a Nissan Leaf saloon in our vehicle fleet to function as a passenger car for mourners and bearers.

Our early innovation won us The Good Funeral Guide’s Best Green Funeral Director award in 2013 and again in 2017 and we were also shortlisted for the 2015 Camden Business Award’s carbon reduction and energy category.

We are constantly striving to offer our clients what they want. Every funeral we do is different, and we can provide clients with environmentally friendly funerals that are delivered with the same high quality of care and personalisation.

Contact us to find out more about our new Electric Hearse and about our Eco-friendly funerals.

We had previously used Leverton's for my parents-in-law funerals a few years back. So when my dad passed away recently it was only natural to go to Leverton's once again. Lorna at the Kentish Town branch was lovely and extremely helpful. She made it all very easy for myself and daughter to make all the arrangements. We ordered flowers through them as well and the flowers were beautiful, it was just so much easier to go through one person for all that. Everything went very smoothly, everyone was very attentive and extremely helpful. They also found us a lovely celebrant to preside over the ceremony. I couldn't recommend them highly enough.

My husband had always hoped to be looked after by Levertons; in that, as in so much else, he exercised very good judgement! We were given helpful guidance in planning the funeral, and very considerate and attentive support on the day.

During a time that was extremely difficult for the whole family, Levertons were able to take away all the stress we had with arranging the funeral. Everything asked was received and our loved one was given the best send off he could have had. Lorna in particular was brilliant and everyone who conducted the funeral on the day were faultless. I would 100% recommend their services and couldn’t be more thankful.

Leverton was recommended by a friend, whom I can't thank enough for the introduction. Having to make contact with a funeral director is probably one of the most difficult things you ever have to do for a loved one. Leverton - and particularly Drew and Mark - made the situation bearable. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend.

They could not be more perfect. From the initial consultation everything went smoothly. They made all the arrangements including setting up a website devoted to my partner.

Very professional team, Lorna at the Kentish Town branch was great, really kind and thoughtful. Never felt pressured to go for any extras. The organisation was excellent and everything ran without a glitch. I highly recommend the black horses, they really add an air of elegance and dignity and surprisingly good value! Absolutely beautiful.
