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.

When our grandmother passed away, we chose Leverton & Sons and were supported by Lorna throughout the process. She was incredibly kind, considerate, knowledgeable, and thoughtful. As it was my first time organising a funeral, I truly appreciated the care and guidance we received. Lorna took the time to walk us through everything and made a very difficult time more manageable. The team was also very accommodating to our needs, and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Leverton & Sons. Thank you so much, Lorna.

Lorna and her colleagues were very professional, responsive and symphatetic. They made what it was a challenging time for me and my family much easier.

From the planning of the service to the day of the funeral itself, Levertons displayed empathy and professionalism in all regards. I would unhesitatingly recommend Levertons for sensitive and supportive work that goes the extra mile and is intensely human in its advice and understanding.

Andrew Leverton's Service can only be described as impecable. The personal touch provided by Andrew himself and his team, the calm explanations and effortless arrangements made the whole process smooth and effortless, which was invaluable to our family at this difficult time.

Levertons recently dealt with the arrangements for my husband's funeral. I found them (and particularly James) to be efficient, kind and compassionate during a very difficult time. Highly recommended.

Leverton & Son handled the repatriation of my sister to Ireland with great care and professionalism. Their support and compassion meant a lot during a very difficult time.

I can highly recommend Leverton. They are both very professional, sympathetic and supportive. They handled my darling Mum's funeral with dignity, grace and most importantly kindness and understanding. Nothing was too much trouble. Thank you very much.
