Levertons, and their funeral Director, Deborah Rush made a difficult time easy. Highly professional and understaning, they provided me an dmy family with a very high quality service and the funeral was provided in a respectful and dedicated way. Many thanks to Deborah and her team.

Julie at Levertons was absolutely lovely. It's a time when you're not thinking straight but Julie led us through the process of planning Mum's funeral with real patience and humour. This a great local business and I thoroughly recommend them.

Carmel and the team looked after us throughout the whole process. I would definitely put my trust in them again.

Everything was done beautifully I don't see how it could have been done better.

I had never arranged a funeral before and when my brother died I made a leap of faith and chose Leverton & Sons as the funeral directors. I could not have chosen better. From the moment I spoke to Andrew Leverton I knew I was in kind and careful hands. Throughout the process from the collection of my brother from the hospital to the final service I felt supported and guided. Andrew Leverton was always available to speak to me on the phone and gave me thoughtful advice on the contents of the service, the choice of crematorium and recommended an excellent celebrant. The service for my brother was carried out with great dignity and professionalism. I would like to add special thanks to our driver for his kindness. I would recommend Leverton & Sons wholeheartedly.

Very good service, kind, compassionate and considerate staff. Special mention to Julie Avery. All requests were dealt with efficiently. Highly recommend Leverton & sons who will help you to make decisions with ease at a really stressful time.

Very good service. Respectful, attentive and responsive, the team at Levertons helped make sure Mum's send off was everything she would have wanted

Deborah was unstintingly thoughtful and compassionate throughout what was a very difficult time, taking care to explain everything clearly and sensitively, and all the other members of her team I spoke to were just as considerate. I really, really cannot recommend Leverton and Sons highly enough.

I genuinely can't put into words how amazing Lorna and the rest of the team have been in my recent experience of arranging my father's funeral. It's the first time in my life that I've really had to engage and deal with death, let alone having to arrange a funeral after the death of a parent. Needless to say, it's been a difficult time. Lorna at the Kentish Town branch has been supportive, compassionate, sensitive, endlessly knowledgeable and, above all, patient with me during this entire time. The result has been an amazing send off for my father - one that he deserved. Funeral directors are one of those services that we hope we won't have to use again, but if the time comes, I won't hesitate to return back to Levertons. Thank you all so much.
