Levertons & Julie in particular took care of my beloved mum’s funeral recently. We had lost my darling dad only 5 months before & had no hesitation in using them again. They knew exactly how to deliver the send off for both my parents & made the whole process go as smoothly & as fitting as we wanted for them. They made a difficult time that bit easier knowing everything was being dealt with in their capable hands. I would have no hesitation in recommending them to anyone.

I used them recently following the death of my mother, and 4 years earlier for the death of my father. Both times they were very helpful and made it as 'good' an experience as they could in a very difficult and sad time. The helped and advised on all aspects of the funeral and provided options to keep the costs down. I did compare prices with elsewhere and found them competitive. They recommended a celebrant, who was excellent and the funeral director Michael was at the funeral on the day. I was too upset to talk to him much, but was glad he was there all the same.

The service and help I received from Drew at Leverton was amazing, I had lost my mother and really did not where to start to honour her. They arranged everything through gentle questions and kept me updated at all times. Lesly, bless her, dressed my mom and styled her so beautifully for my last visit, I cannot thank you enough for that. I would wholeheartedly recommend their services, I was treated with compassion and my mom was treated with all the dignity she deserved.

Really lovely funeral directors. From the first phone call to the the end every memeber of staff were kind, respectul, caring and helpful. They made a very difficult situation bearable.

Leverton's handled the funeral with care and compassion and with a professionalism over and above my expectations. My only (small) criticism would be that communication post funeral was unclear (as in the arrangements for the collection of ashes). I was not aware that the ashes would be available for collection the following day and therefore was waiting on a call (either from Levertons or from the crematorium admin office). A week post funeral, I called Leverton's to be informed they were ready for collection (and had been from the next day).

We are very appreciative of Leverton's (James's) guidance and arrangements for my late Aunt's Service. Family and friends commented on how the Service would have been exactly what my Aunt wished for.
