Traditional Funerals

Traditional funerals can be timeless, familiar and crafted with care and personal meaning. For those who wish to mark a life with ceremony, decorum, and heritage, our traditional funeral arrangements offer lasting respect in every detail.

What a traditional funeral can include

Traditional funerals are dependent on the tradition of the culture or religion of the client but often are formalised by certain elements. We offer a choice of hearses and limousines and personalised ceremonial touches such as a funeral director in traditional attire leading the procession.

You may also opt for a horse-drawn carriage if you're looking for something more symbolic but still rooted in tradition. If you would prefer an eco-hearse we can also provide that as a newer and more recent option.

Bespoke arrangements, thoughtfully delivered

Whether you imagine a full ceremonial procession, clergy or celebrant-led service, or traditional readings and music, we'll tailor every element to reflect the person that you're honouring. With our experience and care, each funeral feels meaningful and personal, yet guided with gentle reassurance.

Why families choose a traditional service

  • They bring a sense of formality, respect, and gravitas to farewells.
  • They often align with cultural, religious, or personal values.
  • These services provide space for ritual, community, and shared remembrance.
  • We deliver tradition with compassion - without rigidity or undue formality.

Julie at Levertons was absolutely lovely. It's a time when you're not thinking straight but Julie led us through the process of planning Mum's funeral with real patience and humour. This a great local business and I thoroughly recommend them.

I had never arranged a funeral before and when my brother died I made a leap of faith and chose Leverton & Sons as the funeral directors. I could not have chosen better. From the moment I spoke to Andrew Leverton I knew I was in kind and careful hands. Throughout the process from the collection of my brother from the hospital to the final service I felt supported and guided. Andrew Leverton was always available to speak to me on the phone and gave me thoughtful advice on the contents of the service, the choice of crematorium and recommended an excellent celebrant. The service for my brother was carried out with great dignity and professionalism. I would like to add special thanks to our driver for his kindness. I would recommend Leverton & Sons wholeheartedly.
