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.

Lorna really made the whole expirience of organising my sons viewings and funeral very meaningful. She held me when my world fell apart and helped me piece together detailed tributes to honour my son Jamie. She was available in person, on the phone and via email when ever I needed. The funeral was beautiful. She made the hardest most painful time of my life very touching. Every detail was included and I felt guided and supported to make choices at my speed.

Leverton conducted both my parents’ funerals. Deborah is a consummate professional and their service was faultless throughout on both occasions. Thank you.

Leverton & Sons have been our family funeral directors for many years. After having trawled through websites looking for a simple but dignified farewell for my husband who just wanted something simple and unattended, I realised that Leverton & Sons fitted that request to a T. They make you feel at ease and stress-free even though you are experiencing grief at the loss of a loved one. Their prices are competitive and you meet the people who are taking care of your departed. Not so with online services who if you make an initial request for a quote , bombard you with text messages for days! Go with the personal touch especially if you require an unattended service, you will not regret it.

Very good communicators, clear and sensitive, reasonably priced, good value. They make it easy at not an easy time. I have never gone through this before. It was easy and clear.
