The staff were incredibly kind and thoughtful. As a family we all felt that our dearly departed was in good hands. Such immense sadness that we all felt was so gracefully acknowledged and respected. We couldn’t fault the wonderful service we received from Deborah. Thank you.

Deborah and the team at Levertons were so helpful and kind in helping me arrange my aunt's funeral. We arranged it very quickly, and Deborah was super helpful and flexible in all aspects and made the process as stress-free as is possible. I can't recommend them highly enough.

Leverton & Sons Ltd. are long established and highly regarded. My own experience of dealing with them was excellent in every way and reflected their well-deserved reputation for professionalism and discretion during what is a very difficult time.

Deborah did a superb job. Her ability to listen and explain was exceptionally good. If only more doctors were as good as her. AND it all went very very smoothly. She chose a superb celebrant. Very highly recommended.

The gentleman who received me in the office on my initial visit explained everything very clearly and thoroughly, and was very sympathetic and helpful. The funeral was carried out exactly as I had hoped and everything was conducted respectfully and smoothly. I was very pleased indeed with Leverton's and would recommend them to anyone.

Leverton handled all the details regarding my brother's recent funeral. They were an absolute godsend at a very difficult time. James Green needs singling out for particular praise - for making us all feel like nothing was too much trouble. Whenever a new issue or detail occurred to me, it would turn out that he (or they) had already thought about it and had the solution in place. Very highly recommended.
