What is a cookie?

Cookies are text files containing small amounts of information which are downloaded to your device when you visit a website. Cookies are then sent back to the originating website on each subsequent visit, or to another website that recognises that cookie. Cookies are useful because they allow a website to recognise a user's device.

You can find more information about cookies at: www.allaboutcookies.org and www.youronlinechoices.eu.

Cookies do lots of different jobs, like letting you navigate between pages efficiently, remembering your preferences, and generally improve the user experience.

They can also help to ensure that adverts you see online are more relevant to you and your interests.

The cookies used on this website have been categorised based on the categories found in the ICC UK Cookie guide.

A list of all the cookies used on this website by category is set out below.

Category 1: Strictly Necessary Cookies

These cookies enable services you have specifically asked for.

These cookies are essential in order to enable you to move around the website and use its features, such as accessing secure areas of the website. Without these cookies services you have asked for, like shopping baskets or e-billing, cannot be provided.

Examples include:

  • Remembering previous actions (e.g. entered text) when navigating back to a page in the same session.
  • Managing and passing security tokens to different services within a website to identify the visitor's status (e.g. logged in or not)
  • To maintain tokens for the implementation of secure areas of the website
  • To route customers to specific versions/applications of a service, such as might be used during a technical migration

These cookies will not be used

  • To gather information that could be used for marketing to the user
  • To remember customer preferences or user ID's outside a single session (unless the user has requested this function).

For those types of cookies that are strictly necessary, no consent is required.

Category 2: Performance Cookies

These cookies collect anonymous information on the pages visited

These cookies collect information about how visitors use a website, for instance which pages visitors go to most often, and if they get error messages from web pages. These cookies don't collect information that identifies a visitor. All information these cookies collect is aggregated and therefore anonymous. It is only used to improve how a website works.

Examples include:

  • Web analytics - where the data collected is limited to the website operator's use only, for managing the performance and design of the site. These cookies can be third-party cookies but the information must be for the exclusive use of the publisher of the website visited.
  • Ad response rates - where the data is used exclusively for calculating response rates (click-through rates) to improve the effectiveness of advertising purchased on a site external to the destination website. If the same cookie is used to retarget adverts on a third-party site this would fall outside the performance category (see Category 4)
  • Affiliate tracking - where the cookie is used to let affiliates know that a visitor to a site visited a partner site some time later and if that visit resulted in the use or purchase of a product or service, including details of the product and service purchased. Affiliate tracking cookies allow the affiliate to improve the effectiveness of their site. If the same cookie is used to retarget adverts this would fall outside the performance category (see Category 4)
  • Error management - Measuring errors presented on a website, typically this will be to support service improvement or complaint management and will generally be closely linked with web analytics.
  • Testing designs - Testing variations of design, typically using A/B or multivariate testing, to ensure a consistent look and feel is maintained for the user of the site in the current and subsequent sessions.

These cookies should not be used to re-target adverts, if they are, they should be placed in category 4 as well.

By using our website, you agree that we can place these types of cookies on your device.

Category 3: Functionality Cookies

These cookies remember choices you make to improve your experience

These cookies allow the website to remember choices you make (such as your user name, language or the region you are in) and provide enhanced, more personal features. For instance, a website may be able to provide you with local weather reports or traffic news by storing in a cookie the region in which you are currently located. These cookies can also be used to remember changes you have made to text size, fonts and other parts of web pages that you can customise. They may also be used to provide services you have asked for such as watching a video or commenting on a blog. The information these cookies collect may be anonymised and they cannot track your browsing activity on other websites a website works.

Examples include:

  • Remembering settings a user has applied to a website such as layout, font size, preferences, colours etc.
  • Remembering a choice such as not to be asked again to fill in a questionnaire.
  • Detecting if a service has already been offered, such as offering a tutorial on future visits to the website.
  • Providing information to allow an optional service to function such as offering a live chat session.
  • Fulfilling a request by the user such as submitting a comment.

These cookies should not be used to re-target adverts, if they are, they should be placed in category 4 as well.

By using our website you agree that we can place these types of cookies on your device.

Category 4: Targeting cookies or advertising cookies

These cookies collect information about your browsing habits in order to make advertising relevant to you and your interests.

These cookies are used to deliver adverts more relevant to you and your interests They are also used to limit the number of times you see an advertisement as well as help measure the effectiveness of the advertising campaign. They are usually placed by advertising networks with the website operator's permission. They remember that you have visited a website and this information is shared with other organisations such as advertisers. Quite often targeting or advertising cookies will be linked to site functionality provided by the other organisation.

Examples include:

  • Cookies placed by advertising networks to collect browsing habits in order to target relevant adverts to the user. The site the user is visiting need not actually be serving adverts, but often this will also be the case
  • Cookies placed by advertising networks in conjunction with a service implemented by the website to increase functionality, such as commenting on a blog, adding a site to the user's social network, providing maps or counters of visitors to a site.

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.

What a caring and considerate team at Leverton's Kentish Town. From the start, Lorna could not do enough to help with my aunt's funeral arrangements. She has been so kind and gentle, never making me feel rushed or unheard. The quality of the floral wreaths was excellent, just as Lorna described them. Since I do not live locally, I found Lorna went out of her way to make sure everything was perfect. Also, a thank you to Bill and his team, who were with us on the day. You eliminated so much of the stress, on an emotional day. Thank you to Leverton's, a first class professional funeral service, complete with care and consideration. Would recommend highly.

I had a very positive experience with Levertons Muswell Hill. My husband died abroad and the company managed the process of receiving his body and advised and supported me while the Coroner considered the matter. I was helped and guided in selecting a crematorium and talked through the process of planning an appropriate service for my beloved partner of 29 years. Levertons suggested a celebrant and I decided to use her services following an initial meeting which went very well. I felt supported in planning the service and was confident in incorporating elements from my husbands culture and my own, different, tradition of death. This came together on the day of the funeral in a very moving way and Deborah and other Levertons staff members managed the event in a manner that was respectful and thoroughly professional. I am pleased to recommend the company and feel that the fees charged were very reasonable considering the high quality of service.

James and the team were truly exceptional — kind, professional, and deeply considerate. They guided us through one of the hardest times with genuine compassion and understanding, taking care of every detail with respect and sensitivity. Our family felt fully supported, and my brother was treated with the utmost dignity throughout. We are profoundly grateful for their help and care.

Levertons directed my father’s funeral in March, and I cannot thank them enough for their compassion and professionalism. Their respect for tradition and sensitivity to our family’s wishes gave my dad the send-off he truly deserved. They made difficult decisions easier to face and gently reminded us to focus on what was most important. I’ll always be grateful for the care and dignity they brought to every part of the process.

Very good and professional service. On the day of the funeral James and his team were very good, nothing was too much trouble and they were very helpful throughout. We found Michael extremely empathetic and informative when organising our mum's funeral.

Carmel at Levertons made what was a very difficult time very easy to navigate. Carmel helped us organise everything and when required was always available to give advice and assistance. My wife’s funeral was everything we wanted it to be.

We engaged Leverton's Hampstead for the funerals of my mother in 2011 and more recently that of my father. On both occasions Levertons supported us to deliver beautiful, personalised funeral services. They were respectful and supportive throughout and helped steer us through some very sad times.

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.
