Free bereavement counselling for our clients with SAIF Care

At Levertons, we understand that you may be experiencing grief and that the process of bereavement continues or indeed can start after the funeral takes place. Whilst we are unable to provide bereavement support ourselves, as our client, we want to provide you with a free service that can help, and we are proud to announce that we are partners with SAIF Care.

SAIF Care services are offered by friendly staff who are trained in counselling and bereavement skills and who will be able to listen and support you.

The Associate Counsellors from SAIF Care are highly skilled and qualified. They will be able to help you to understand your experience of grief, develop self-care, coping strategies and support you to deal with the challenges you may be facing.

SAIF Care is a bereavement service offered by funeral directors who are members of The National Society of Allied and Independent Funeral Directors (SAIF).

As our client, as long as you are over the age of 18, you can access a range of services for free, including:

  • A freephone telephone helpline 0800 917 7224
  • Email support and information help@saifcare.org.uk
  • Up to six free sessions of supportive counselling by telephone, Skype or face to face in your local area.

SAIF Care services are available to you from Monday – Friday from 9am – 9pm.

Mark at Levertons helped me with every detail of creating a wonderful service for the late Rajesh (Kiki). I felt nothing was too much trouble and the attention to detail was excellent. Communication and compassion was just what I needed during this difficult time. Thank you Mark for understanding and being so kind.

My aunt died quite unexpectedly and although I had been to funerals organised by Levertons before this was the first time I had to arrange one myself. I was nervous about meeting my aunt’s requests but Michael at Levertons made sure everything she wanted was catered for and we all as a family were left feeling completely safe and confident that my aunts requests were being met. On the day of the funeral everyone from Levertons was professional extremely polite and respectful. Grief is personal and organising a funeral can be daunting but Levertons gave us a highly professional service while also showing kindness and compassion at an extremely difficult time. This was something as a family we are all very grateful for

My cousins (who had flown over from New Zealand) and I (just landed from Australia) had the tough job of organising a funeral and cremation service for our late Aunt, who had lived in London for over twenty years. From the very first meeting, Deborah, Alison, Samantha and the whole team at Laverton & Sons have been so kind, understanding and helpful. They took care of tiny details and made what could have been an overwhelming process so much easier for us. We felt completely supported throughout, and we’re so grateful for the compassion and care they showed our family. I have no hesitation in recommending the Muswell Hill team for Laverton & Sons.

A super service which gave my sister a wonderful 'goodbye'. The Levertons team made a challenging emotional event a respectful, but uplifting experience. The webcam of the service was perfect for Sue's friends who could not be present. I recommend the Leverton team.
