A funeral is an opportunity for relatives, friends and neighbors to
reflect upon and celebrate the life of the deceased and gain personal closure.
It is an important ritual which has been practiced by all
cultures since the beginning of time. Every culture performs different
ceremonies, but the idea of using a funeral as closure to one's earthly life is universal.
We at DeVoe Funeral Service pride ourselves in serving all cultures and faiths.
Whether it be a traditional funeral or something more unique, our family and staff
will attend to your family's wishes with dignity and respect.

A funeral director handles all the details and necessary arrangements
associated with the death of a loved one. Since 1915, the DeVoe
family has been serving Warren County and the surrounding area. President,

of notification, our caring staff will guide you through every step of
the process. From the dignified removal to the funeral Service, we will handle all the
necessary paperwork, file any and all permits, notify and arrange for all services
(compose obituary notices, notify clergy, arrange for the cemetery, dressing, cosmetic,
casketing, compose a Life-Celebration Video, etc.) We are available to you and your
family twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week, every day of the year.
