Eco-Hearse

Levertons' electric hearse

Since pioneering the UK's first all-electric eco-hearse in 2013, we've continued to lead with innovation and care. In July 2022, we added the first full-sized electric Nissan Leaf-based hearse to our fleet - demonstrating our commitment to lowering environmental impact without compromising dignity.

A modern alternative with tradition at heart

This hearse is based on the Nissan Leaf, redesigned with a lightweight carbon-fibre body for strength and efficiency. It achieves up to 200 miles on a single charge - with zero emissions, silent operation, and a meaningful way to honour a life in tune with the environment.

The Nissan Leaf saloon car counterpart also carries mourners and bearers in comfort and style - giving families a consistent, respectful experience every step of the way.

Why families choose the eco-hearse

  • It reflects a deeper alignment between sustainability values - giving a farewell that lives in honour and thoughtfulness.
  • It's quiet, clean journey offers a gentle farewell in cleaner air zones.
  • The same attention to detail, respect and personalisation applies - just delivered with a more sustainable vehicle.

Our greener funeral options have earned us industry acclaim, including the Gold Award from the Greener Globe Funeral Standards, recognising our sustainability leadership in funeral care. Find out more about our greener and sustainable funeral options.

This is the second time we have entrusted Leverton & Sons service, and we are so grateful for their professionalism, guidance, and kindness throughout the process. They made a very difficult time much easier for us.”

This was the first time I have had to arrange a funeral for an immediate family member and I found Lorna from the Kentish Town branch both incredibly compassionate and extremely helpful in the circumstances. Lorna and Libby’s (our celebrant) guidance helped us pull together a well-received service for my late Dad. Would not hesitate to recommend or use again.

When my mother sadly passed away last month there was only one company that we would trust with her funeral arrangements and that was Leverton &sons. We left everything to them and they did not disappoint. A friendly, approachable and professional service from start to finish, thank you for making a sad time that bit easier.

We recently had a funeral with Levertons and as a family we were astonished by the impeccable service they provided. Their professionalism, support, dignity and overall knowledge was fantastic. Our family member Janet had pre paid her own funeral and this was a seamless service with no hidden fees. Deborah was so professional and polite and approachable that it made their service Ben better. Deborah's knowledge was second to none and made the whole process easier. Out family have been using Levertons for many years - over 25 years and this is why our family continues to to use their service..

I went with Leverton as I really had no idea where to start with planning a funeral, and a family member had used their services previously. Michael was enormously helpful at a very stressful time, making everything super easy for me when I had no idea how things worked. He was always at the end of an email with a quick reply whatever the question or request. On the day, the funeral service was really lovely and well run. All their arrangements went super smoothly and they accommodated whatever request we had. If you’re anything like I was (doing this for the first time, at a bit of a loss, and just wanting some kind help planning a good funeral) I highly highly recommend Leverton.

I made my initial appointment with Lorna Walkden at Kentish Town Branch. My friend had passed very unexpectedly. Lorna made the whole Process easy for me to understand. Could not recommend Leverton & Sons enough.

Myself and family had exceptional service from Leverton & Sons. Very pleased and thankful for Lorna who helped guide me through the options with ease. Also much appreciation for the celebrant chosen for us Mr Andrew Pavlibeyi and the prompt and professional drivers. We would highly recommend Leverton & Sons services to anyone in need.
