Levertons Now
Today the company is run by cousins Pippa and Andrew. As a family business, we are fortunate that our family ties extend beyond the Levertons. Some of our 30 colleagues’ partners and children are also part of the company. Our profession is suited to a family company. Working with the deceased and the bereaved is a vocation – not every Leverton has chosen to join the company.

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 & Sons have been our family funeral directors for many years. After having trawled through websites looking for a simple but dignified farewell for my husband who just wanted something simple and unattended, I realised that Leverton & Sons fitted that request to a T. They make you feel at ease and stress-free even though you are experiencing grief at the loss of a loved one. Their prices are competitive and you meet the people who are taking care of your departed. Not so with online services who if you make an initial request for a quote , bombard you with text messages for days! Go with the personal touch especially if you require an unattended service, you will not regret it.

Very good communicators, clear and sensitive, reasonably priced, good value. They make it easy at not an easy time. I have never gone through this before. It was easy and clear.

Carmel and her team were always very caring and very helpful regarding my brother Peter's funeral arrangements. Everything was fine on the day, though traffic delays were a slight problem arriving at the Crematorium! and the ceremony was very good. Levertons were prompt and always available to answer any queries or regarding all costs involved in the planning and payments too. A great firm and all involved were commendable. Thank you!!

The day of the funeral went smoothly (March 2025). Thanks to the whole team who supported us on the day of the funeral and the team we met with in person leading up to the day of the funeral.

Two family funerals in the space of three years. Leverton and Sons can't be faulted. Attention to detail is all part of their service and nothing is too much trouble. Highly recommend.

The funeral went as planned with kindness, dignity and with all the expected support in difficult times. Leverton & Sons are still with us after more than 200 years for good reason. Thank you.
