Clive joined his family working for Levertons in 1959. He worked alongside brother Keith, father Ivor and uncle Chris Leverton and the rest of the team until he left to work for himself in the building profession in 1969. Re-joining in 1975, the experience he had gained and brought to the firm proved very useful in developing and growing the firm.
Clive then worked his way up with brother Keith to become Director and subsequently Chairman of the company with daughter Pippa and Hannah and nephew Andrew also joining later. Always learning and wanting to bring high standards to the profession, he has a Diploma in Funeral Directing and was a founder member of SAIF (Society of Allied Independent Funeral Directors) which has now reached over 1,000 members. Over the years Clive has made and is well known for many contributions to the firm and profession, most notably pioneering the first all-electric hearse made in the UK. He is also Trustee and Chairman of the St Pancras Welfare Trust which supports those most in need in the old metropolitan borough of St Pancras, Camden. He officially retired in 2020 aged 77 but still works as a consultant behind the scenes to support where needed.
Clive takes great satisfaction in lifting the load of bereavement by dealing with all the practicalities following a death to allow families to mourn without distraction.
He spends his spare time with family or at the allotment and is proud that Leverton’s co- sponsor Haringey Rugby Football Club including the Ladies Teams.
We had previously used Leverton's for my parents-in-law funerals a few years back. So when my dad passed away recently it was only natural to go to Leverton's once again. Lorna at the Kentish Town branch was lovely and extremely helpful. She made it all very easy for myself and daughter to make all the arrangements. We ordered flowers through them as well and the flowers were beautiful, it was just so much easier to go through one person for all that. Everything went very smoothly, everyone was very attentive and extremely helpful. They also found us a lovely celebrant to preside over the ceremony. I couldn't recommend them highly enough.

Excellent. Caring staff who listen to your needs and provide a highly professional service. I have used Levertons twice now.

My husband had always hoped to be looked after by Levertons; in that, as in so much else, he exercised very good judgement! We were given helpful guidance in planning the funeral, and very considerate and attentive support on the day.

During a time that was extremely difficult for the whole family, Levertons were able to take away all the stress we had with arranging the funeral. Everything asked was received and our loved one was given the best send off he could have had. Lorna in particular was brilliant and everyone who conducted the funeral on the day were faultless. I would 100% recommend their services and couldn’t be more thankful.

Leverton was recommended by a friend, whom I can't thank enough for the introduction. Having to make contact with a funeral director is probably one of the most difficult things you ever have to do for a loved one. Leverton - and particularly Drew and Mark - made the situation bearable. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend.

They could not be more perfect. From the initial consultation everything went smoothly. They made all the arrangements including setting up a website devoted to my partner.

Very professional team, Lorna at the Kentish Town branch was great, really kind and thoughtful. Never felt pressured to go for any extras. The organisation was excellent and everything ran without a glitch. I highly recommend the black horses, they really add an air of elegance and dignity and surprisingly good value! Absolutely beautiful.
