Embalming myths debunked 

When families visit our funeral home to make arrangements for their loved ones, one topic that often raises questions - and sometimes eyebrows - is embalming. The practice of embalming, despite being a routine aspect of funeral care, is surrounded by myths and misconceptions that can make it an uncomfortable discussion for some people. As […]

Let’s talk about direct cremations

Whether it’s because of cost or circumstance, a formal ceremony may not be for everyone. There has been a noticeable movement away from the traditional funeral in recent years with many opting for a Direct Cremation. It may be due to the cost-of-living crisis or indeed the aftermath of Covid when people weren’t able to […]

Leverton and Sons provided the most sympathetic and thoughtful funeral arrangements for my mum. Their engagement was first class from initial contact through to liaising with the parish church on the service and burial arrangements at the cemetery. Their pall-bearer team on the day exemplified that mum was in safe hands, taking extreme care right up to the very last moment. Lorna in the Kentish Town office was always present and a pleasure to deal with.

Levertons were exactly what we needed, and more. So calm, reassuring, always in touch and on the ball.

Words cannot fully express the gratitude we feel for the service we received from Leverton & Sons. From beginning to end, especially Craig, the care and professionalism shown to us were truly outstanding. Communication was clear and well organised throughout. There may have been moments when timings or circumstances were challenging, but through teamwork and dedication, everything was made possible. During such a difficult time — losing someone so important in our lives — your support, understanding, and compassion meant more than we can say. Please keep up the sincerity and excellent work that you do Craig and Team.

Deborah and colleagues from Leverton & Sons, Muswell Hill, have been truly wonderful! They guided my son and me through the entire process (we didn't know where to start!) with such care, patience and understanding ensuring everything went smoothly. The funeral was conducted with dignity, warmth and love. Organising a funeral is hard, it is emotional, hugely upsetting, but Deborah and colleagues made this difficult time for my family feel less stressful by taking away a myriad of practicalities, offering gentle advice and guidance throughout. Thank you all for supporting us during this difficult time.

I cannot thank Leverton Funeral Directors enough, and especially Lorna and her team, for the care, compassion, and professionalism they showed our family at such a difficult time. From the very beginning, Lorna made what felt like an overwhelming process feel manageable. Every step was handled with kindness, patience, and genuine consideration, always taking the time to explain things clearly and never rushing us. Nothing ever felt like too much trouble, and we were always treated with dignity and respect. The whole team showed constant care not just for the arrangements, but for us as a family. Their attention to detail and thoughtful support made a truly painful time that little bit easier to navigate, and for that I will always be grateful. I would wholeheartedly recommend Leverton Funeral Directors to anyone needing compassionate, reassuring support during the loss of a loved one. Lorna and her team truly go above and beyond.

Kathryn and Kirsty were excellent in arranging my brother’s funeral and looking after us. Everything went so smoothly and the Funeral itself was carried out with both dignity and efficiency.The friendly and personal touch was always there and I shall always be grateful for their care and understanding. I cannot recommend Leverton and Sons too highly. Roger Leslie
