About

Joseph Gawler’s Sons, LLC was founded in 1850 and has proudly provided funeral and cremation services to the Washington D.C. area for more than 160 years.

Story

Joseph Gawler’s Sons, LLC is privileged to have served families of the nation’s capital since 1850, including those of presidents, Supreme Court justices, members of Congress, military leaders and foreign dignitaries. We handle funeral arrangements for families of Northwest Washington, D.C. metro community, which includes the areas of Maryland and Virginia just outside the District.

Our large, classic Georgian facility, which we moved to in 1962, and its furnishings were renovated and refurbished in 2003 to provide more modern conveniences while maintaining the comfortable feel of Gawler’s and our more than 160-year history.

We serve all faiths in quiet dignity from a variety of state rooms, some with historical significance. In addition to the state rooms, our facility includes a spacious chapel which features illuminated windows and a family suite that provides a restful haven of privacy for families.

The Eisenhower Room, decorated with paneling replicating that at Camp David at the suggestion of Mamie Eisenhower, is the largest of the Gawler’s state rooms and is suitable for both large and smaller services.

Gawler’s also offers an unusually large selection of caskets, which can be selected in a separate casket-selection room, and a cremation gallery with a complete selection of urns for families choosing cremation services.

Gawler’s offers many professional services and amenities to families, and in every respect, we continue our tradition of personal attention to families’ needs and individual desires. Please ask one of our professional staff members for information about these services. We strive at all times to ease family burdens by handling as many details as possible with the strictest confidence.
