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.

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.

We aim to earn complete trust from every family and client we serve – by listening closely, offering expert guidance, and always upholding dignity.

Deborah Rush at Levertons was simply superb. She handled my grief in an empathetic but not cloying manner . Deborah’s attention to every detail was impressive. Further , after a brief description of what qualities I wanted in a celebrant , Deborah chose an excellent one , Ruby Warnock. All my guests at the cremation commented on how well everything had gone.

Julie at Levertons was absolutely lovely. It's a time when you're not thinking straight but Julie led us through the process of planning Mum's funeral with real patience and humour. This a great local business and I thoroughly recommend them.

I had never arranged a funeral before and when my brother died I made a leap of faith and chose Leverton & Sons as the funeral directors. I could not have chosen better. From the moment I spoke to Andrew Leverton I knew I was in kind and careful hands. Throughout the process from the collection of my brother from the hospital to the final service I felt supported and guided. Andrew Leverton was always available to speak to me on the phone and gave me thoughtful advice on the contents of the service, the choice of crematorium and recommended an excellent celebrant. The service for my brother was carried out with great dignity and professionalism. I would like to add special thanks to our driver for his kindness. I would recommend Leverton & Sons wholeheartedly.
