Lorna Walkden
Branch Manager and Funeral Arranger

Lorna began working as a Funeral Director with Levertons in January 2020, supporting all of our branches and now manages the Kentish Town branch. She has a degree in history and is a qualified teacher, but has 20 years’ experience in customer-focussed roles, management, and administration. Lorna enjoys the variety within her job, because all families and all funerals are different, and appreciates being able to help people at a time when it is needed most.

In her spare time, she reads, walks, volunteers with two national charities, loves the theatre, and is always keen find something new and unusual to do in and around London.

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.

Levertons were extremely professional and helpful throughout the process of organising my father’s funeral. Their guidance and attention throughout was greatly appreciated. I have no hesitation in recommending them.

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.
