Sudden or Unexpected Death

What to do

When someone has died unexpectedly or the doctor is not certain of the cause of death, the case will often be referred to the Coroner’s Office.

It’s still a good idea to contact your funeral director at an early stage. A provisional date can be booked for the funeral, we will also help with some arrangements and we will liaise with the Coroner’s Office for you.

If you would like  support with a sudden bereavement there is help available.

Which Coroner’s Office is involved will depend on where the death occurred.

There are several Jurisdictions in London; details of these and the Districts in the rest of the country can be found here.

Lorna and her team were brilliant from start to finish and couldn't have been more accommodating. I would highly recommend using Levertons Kentish Town.

Levertons is absolutely superb! From start to finish it was flawless. Lorna at Kentish Town branch is kind, thoughtful, caring and organised my nans funeral with precision. She helped us as a family making things easy at such a sad time and couldn’t do enough. She is a wonderful human being. My nans funeral was beautiful, professional and went exactly how it was planned out. Mark the Funeral Director led the funeral on the day to the highest standard along with Nigel our limousine driver and all the horse and carriage team. Our full gratitude and appreciation is given to Levertons who made my nans last journey so very special for us. These guys are so very unique I would fully recommend to everyone who loses a loved one. 10/10

Our family have always used Levertons, that's what my Mother would have wanted and you didn't let her or us down. You took great care to ensure everthing that we wanted was done with care and attention to detail. It was like having someone holding our hand and guiding us through a very sad and difficult time for which we are very grateful.

From calling into Levertons at Kentish Town NW5 London, talking to Lorna, She was highly professional and setting our path to a great service and overall good day,! after, the service received it was truly impeccable day.! The staff are very professional and patient. They know their job inside out and did everything possible to make sure we were informed and understood everything that was going to happen. I cannot thank them enough for the lovely service we had for our mother-in-law I would highly recommend them to everyone. Especially Lorna, who advised and done everything

We thought that you were easy to deal with, which is so essential at a time of bereavement. And flexible, seeing the different aspects of the different components of the package we required. You were organised, and on the day your contribution was extremely professional and smart.

I want to commend Levertons Finchley Road (Golders Green). If you want Funeral Directors that give you classy service on the day and yet never appear rushed or flustered, then I suggest you go for them. It's the ideal package.

Kathryn was wonderful - kind and caring, the whole experience of arranging my partner's cremation was greatly eased. No matter the question, Kathryn was there to answer. I am deeply grateful for how she made a very sad and (often) stressful process much easier for me. Thank you for treating myself, Jon and everyone at the chapel with such kindness and respect.
