The story of DeVol Funeral Home began in 1946, when patriarch H. Don DeVol purchased the James Clements Funeral Home. In 1947, he moved the business to 2224 Wisconsin Avenue and gave it his name. Through the late 1950s and early 1960s, his sons—Robert A., John F., and James E. DeVol—joined the family business, strengthening its reputation for thoughtful and considerate service. In 1961, the company expanded to its current Georgetown location. As Washington, D.C., grew, so did the family’s commitment to service. In 1988, the Gaithersburg facility was completed, and a third generation—Robert G. and Kevin G. DeVol—entered the business. In 2025, both the D.C. and Maryland locations became part of the Dignity Memorial network, ensuring continued excellence in care.

DeVol Funeral Home specializes in a wide range of services, including traditional funerals, cremation, and personalized memorials. The staff is experienced in honoring diverse cultural, religious, and military traditions, with particular expertise in Catholic services, coordinating full funeral masses, rosary vigils, and scripture readings. They also take great pride in serving veterans and their families, assisting with benefits and military honors. Cremation options are offered with flexibility—from direct cremation to services with the loved one present prior to cremation, or cremation followed by a celebration of life. Unique options include scattering ashes, memorialization at area cemeteries, and even memorial flights into space or underwater reef placements.
