Urns

Urns are available in all kinds of materials from steel to alabaster, salt and papier-mache. They come in designs to suit every taste. Urns can be used to keep ashes in perpetuity, for burial or simply to transport the ashes to the place they will be scattered.

Ashes are often kept in a plain plastic urn unless a specific urn has been ordered in advance. We can provide sturdy eco-friendly boxes as an alternative to plastic.

Keepsakes or ‘tokens’ are a small amount of ashes in a miniature container. People occasionally wish to retain a small amount of ashes after scattering most of them in a designated place. Sometimes a token may be sent to someone close who was unable to attend the funeral.

There are also craftspeople who incorporate ashes into glass pendants or objects, or even make them into diamonds and fireworks.

You can order any of these urns before or after the funeral. If you choose to transfer ashes into a different urn at a later date, we are happy to do that for you.

The Scatter tubes can come in a wide variety of designs to choose from but we can also provide, for an additional cost, personalised scatter tubes using any pictures you would like. The urns shown here are just a few examples of what can be provided. Please contact us to discuss the options.

Carmel and her team were always very caring and very helpful regarding my brother Peter's funeral arrangements. Everything was fine on the day, though traffic delays were a slight problem arriving at the Crematorium! and the ceremony was very good. Levertons were prompt and always available to answer any queries or regarding all costs involved in the planning and payments too. A great firm and all involved were commendable. Thank you!!

The day of the funeral went smoothly (March 2025). Thanks to the whole team who supported us on the day of the funeral and the team we met with in person leading up to the day of the funeral.

Two family funerals in the space of three years. Leverton and Sons can't be faulted. Attention to detail is all part of their service and nothing is too much trouble. Highly recommend.

The funeral went as planned with kindness, dignity and with all the expected support in difficult times. Leverton & Sons are still with us after more than 200 years for good reason. Thank you.
