DeVol Funeral Home

DeVol Funeral Home, located at 2222 Wisconsin Avenue NW in Washington, DC, has been a cornerstone of compassionate funeral and cremation services in the Georgetown area for nearly 80 years. Founded in 1946 when H. Don DeVol purchased the James Clements Funeral Home, the business moved to its current location in 1961 and has since grown into a trusted institution serving families with dignity, respect, and meticulous attention to detail.
