About

About Leverton & Sons

Trusted London Funeral Directors, family run since 1789.

For over eight generations, our family has guided Londoners with care, clarity, and heartfelt support. From humble beginnings to royal commissions, our service remains grounded in dignity, attentiveness, and personal connection.

Whether it's a simple funeral or a large public procession, every person for whom we care for, receives the same calm, respectful attention.

Greener, more sustainable funerals have long been a part of what we offer, and we welcome all kinds of personal touches to help to reflect the life being remembered.

We're also proud to be an Investors in People accredited organisation - recognising the value that we place on the people who make our work possible.

Our people
Our dedicated team of over 30 colleagues work across our branches. Each brings care, professionalism and experience to the families we support.
Careers
Joining Levertons means becoming part of a team that’s committed to serving others with dignity and respect. If you’re interested in working with us, we’d be pleased to hear from you and we also advertise any current vacancies at the link below.
Levertons now
Like many family-run businesses, our roots run deep - with some of our colleagues’ ‘partners and children also joining the team - and families have worked with us for years. Not every Leverton chooses this path, but for those who do, it’s a vocation as much as a profession.
Levertons since 1789
We have served Londoners for over 230 years. What began as local carpenters “undertaking” to build coffins has grown into eight generations of dedicated funeral service and a rich and interesting history.
Levertons family tree
We remain proudly independent and family run. Our family tree traces the generations of Levertons who have shaped the company from 1789 to today.
Mission statement
We aim to earn complete trust from every family and client we serve – by listening closely, offering expert guidance, and always upholding dignity.
Code of Practice
As members of SAIF (The National Society of Allied and Independent Funeral Directors), we follow a strict code of practice designed to protect bereaved families and people and uphold the highest standards.
Reviews
We’re honoured when families take the time to share their thoughts and experiences of our service with us. You can read reviews and testimonials from those that we’ve supported, or leave your own.
News
We share updates about our work, the wider profession, advertise jobs and share changes in the profession that may affect the families we serve - along with stories from our community.
Media and press

I cannot thank Leverton Funeral Directors enough, and especially Lorna and her team, for the care, compassion, and professionalism they showed our family at such a difficult time. From the very beginning, Lorna made what felt like an overwhelming process feel manageable. Every step was handled with kindness, patience, and genuine consideration, always taking the time to explain things clearly and never rushing us. Nothing ever felt like too much trouble, and we were always treated with dignity and respect. The whole team showed constant care not just for the arrangements, but for us as a family. Their attention to detail and thoughtful support made a truly painful time that little bit easier to navigate, and for that I will always be grateful. I would wholeheartedly recommend Leverton Funeral Directors to anyone needing compassionate, reassuring support during the loss of a loved one. Lorna and her team truly go above and beyond.

My aunt died quite unexpectedly and although I had been to funerals organised by Levertons before this was the first time I had to arrange one myself. I was nervous about meeting my aunt’s requests but Michael at Levertons made sure everything she wanted was catered for and we all as a family were left feeling completely safe and confident that my aunts requests were being met. On the day of the funeral everyone from Levertons was professional extremely polite and respectful. Grief is personal and organising a funeral can be daunting but Levertons gave us a highly professional service while also showing kindness and compassion at an extremely difficult time. This was something as a family we are all very grateful for

Levertons conducted the funeral for my late mother and shortly afterwards one for my late father. Mr Drew Rush from their Golders Green office was exceptional helpful: quietly explaining the decisions needed to my father, me and my siblings, allowing us the time to work through the logistics and helping us to hold a lovely set of services. No level of strange request seemed to phase him, and he was exceptionally resourceful. The organisation on the days was exemplary. I would wholeheartedly recommend Levertons.

Mark at Levertons helped me with every detail of creating a wonderful service for the late Rajesh (Kiki). I felt nothing was too much trouble and the attention to detail was excellent. Communication and compassion was just what I needed during this difficult time. Thank you Mark for understanding and being so kind.
