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.

I can confirm with total sincerity that Levertons, and in particular Julie, are superb. Sympathetic, supportive, honest and direct. After 234 years they really have got the hang of it. I am happy to express my gratitude and praise for a wonderful company……they deserve every one of their five stars. Graham Walker 27 March 2024

Very kind and professional with great attention to detail. At what is a difficult and sad time, you can rely on them to deal with the arrangements in the best way possible. Thank you in particular to Andrew whose help and advice was invaluable.

In the most difficult time of our lives Lorna and the rest of team made the process as easy as they possibly could taking a lot of pressure off of us, treating my mum with such dignity that she deserves, and giving her the most beautiful send off, I will be forever greatful for their service.

From start to finish Leverton & Sons provided a superb service. We had used Levertons about 15 years' ago and based on a positive experience then, we chose Levertons again. I can safely say that the exceptional standard of service has been maintained if not surpassed.. I'd like to make special mention of the Fortis Green branch where Deborah Rush dealt with the whole process and our requests both sympathetically and efficiently.

Levertons led us through the whole process. They were very professional and knowledgeable. They took away needing to talk to lots of people and acted as the link between everyone involved. We’ve used them before and will use them in the future should the unfortunate need arise.

Thanks to the kind, helpful and professional support from the staff at Leverton's, we were able to put together a funeral for my husband that we think he would have enjoyed! The time between a death and the funeral is emotional and the steady encouragement from Lorna at Leverton's was crucial for helping us through. I am also particularly grateful for the introduction to Rosalie, who proved to be the perfect Celebrant for us. I loved working with a team of family and friends, with Rosalie and the funeral directors providing structure, mechanisms and co-ordination: Lorna was such a responsive and competent person to keep us working towards our goal in a timely way.

It's not a big place but during the heartbreaking time of my mother's passing Drew and his team at Leverton's made the whole process smooth and effortless.
