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 […]

At a really difficult time, Leverton & Sons were the perfect balance of compassion and practicality. They made the whole process of burying a loved one smooth and as easy as it could possibly be.

James Green at Leverton's did an outstanding job for us at a very difficult time for the family. He was kind and empathetic but also, importantly, efficient and practical. He did what he said he would do when he said he would do it and was flexible when we wanted to make changes. I highly recommend them. Ru Bhugra

Craig at Leverton & Sons was incredibly professional and helpful with funeral arrangements. Craig went above and beyond to sort the arrangements to be made swiftly and seamelessly as possible.

This is a trusted business and over the last 20 years or more my family has hired Levertons for several funerals. They have always been great. They know how to handle things sensitively and professionally. I did not “shop around” when we recently organised the funeral at a nearby church for my mum. When the church knew we were using Levertons they were glad to hear it, saying they are “by far the best”. Everyone we spoke to and dealt with was kind and thoughtful and they helped us make the best of a sad day.

We recently entrusted Leverton and Suns with arranging my wife’s funeral, and I cannot express enough how grateful I am for their care, professionalism, and compassion during such a difficult time. From our very first interaction, they handled everything with sensitivity and respect. They took the time to listen to our wishes and ensured every detail was carried out exactly as we hoped. Their calm guidance made an incredibly emotional process much more manageable. On the day of the service, everything was organised flawlessly. The team conducted themselves with dignity and kindness, creating a peaceful and respectful atmosphere that truly honoured my wife’s memory. I am deeply appreciative of the support we received and would wholeheartedly recommend Leverton and Sons to anyone in need of their services. Their kindness and professionalism made a lasting impression on me and my family.

We are very grateful for the care and professionalism shown throughout this difficult time. From the outset, everything was handled with a calm, kind, and reassuring manner, which made a real difference to us as a family. The process was clear and well managed, with each step explained carefully. Transitions between staff were seamless, and nothing was lost along the way – every detail and request was picked up and carried through. We felt fully supported in our decisions, and our wishes were respected and followed exactly. The day itself ran very smoothly, from the journey from home to the service, and onwards. The team were flexible and responsive, accommodating our requests within what is always a short and emotional timeframe. We would also like to mention the flowers the funeral directors arranged with the florist, were exactly as we had hoped – natural, with beautiful spring colours. We are especially thankful to Lorna and Camilla for their gentle, thoughtful approach. Their care helped us through a very difficult time.

They were fantastic. They made this difficult process, alot less difficult. Handling many things that would have otherwise been more on the families plate. For them I am grateful and would recommend them to everyone.

We chose Levertons after speaking with three other local funeral directors, and we were not disappointed. Drew Rush was a model of professionalism, supportive throughout, with constructive and empathetic suggestions for arrangements for my sister's funeral. He was a most reassuring presence before, during, and after the ceremony. I would not hesitate in recommending the Company and Drew Rush in particular to anyone who finds themselves in the (generally) unfamiliar position of organising a funeral for a loved one at short notice.
