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.

Carmel was really helpful throughout the whole process of organising my sister's funeral. She liased with great care to detail with both myself and my parents and we were very happy with the professional service from Levertons.

I chose Levertons to arrange my wife's funeral purely on the basis of recognising the name, and I am glad that I did so. Everything went very smoothly and it was obviously a very professional operation. I was particularly grateful for their recommendation of a humanist celebrant, Kate Hobson, who exceeded my expectations.

Our family came to Leverton & Sons for dad's funeral after being let down by another funeralcare company. From start to finish, Lorna at the Kentish Town branch was kind, caring and professional - giving us complete peace of mind and comfort that arrangements were in good hands. No question or request was too much and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this company to anyone.
