Words cannot fully express the gratitude we feel for the service we received from Leverton & Sons. From beginning to end, especially Craig, the care and professionalism shown to us were truly outstanding. Communication was clear and well organised throughout. There may have been moments when timings or circumstances were challenging, but through teamwork and dedication, everything was made possible. During such a difficult time — losing someone so important in our lives — your support, understanding, and compassion meant more than we can say. Please keep up the sincerity and excellent work that you do Craig and Team.

Deborah and colleagues from Leverton & Sons, Muswell Hill, have been truly wonderful! They guided my son and me through the entire process (we didn't know where to start!) with such care, patience and understanding ensuring everything went smoothly. The funeral was conducted with dignity, warmth and love. Organising a funeral is hard, it is emotional, hugely upsetting, but Deborah and colleagues made this difficult time for my family feel less stressful by taking away a myriad of practicalities, offering gentle advice and guidance throughout. Thank you all for supporting us during this difficult time.

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.
