Drew at Leverton & Sons was a godsend. We met him amid shock and grief, unable to think clearly or know what to do, and he held our hand every step of the way. He never tried to sell—he simply listened, understood our needs, and offered guidance and information, going above and beyond. On the day of the funeral, he and his team showed immense respect and dignity, handling everything with such care. We could not have found better for such a dignified funeral and will be forever grateful. Highly recommend.

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.
