Levertons Since 1789
Leverton and Sons has been a family owned company of funeral directors based within the St Pancras area of London since 1789. Leases dating from 1789 show John Leverton of Henry Street buying land and selling the houses he built on them. At this time, funeral work was conducted by local carpenters “undertaking” to make the coffins and transport the body.

Leverton showed me and my family kindness, compassion and understanding from the minute I picked up the phone. They helped us plan the exact funeral that we wanted. It was a pleasure to deal with such a professional team at a incredibly difficult time. My family and I cannot thank them enough.

I want to thank Carmel and the Levertons team for helping me arrange a beautiful send off for my mum. Planning a funeral while grieving is extremely difficult, but Carmel made the process so much easier. She was kind, thoughtful and caring throughout, and her support meant a lot to me and my family during such a difficult time.

We were treated well without any fault. Procedure was explained in details before the funeral and I felt comfortable.. The funeral was so well organised and performed smoothly, people attended commented so. I appreciate very much, thank you. Kimiko Kambe-Gang

Drew and his team at Leverton & Sons Ltd. could not have done more to take me through the process of organising my late twin brother's funeral; they were professional, yet understanding, empathetic and patient (this being the first funeral I have had to organise), and I felt helped every step of the way. The fact that we had to organise things 'long distance' as we are not local to where my twin brother lived (so over the 'phone and by email) was no obstacle to them. The funeral itself was just what I wanted. Thank you.

We used Leverton’s recently to take care of the funeral arrangements for our Mum. They were incredibly professional yet approachable at all points, and managed both the larger organisation and small details very well. Deborah was lovely to deal with and made us feel like we were in very safe hands, on the run up to the funeral and indeed on the day itself when everything went perfectly, just as we had hoped. Her local knowledge meant that her recommendations of funeral location, florist, wake venue and celebrant all proved successful too and just right for what we needed. Very happy to recommend. Many thanks.
