History
Our historical legacy
In 1841, Demaine was located at the corner of Fairfax and Prince streets in the bustling Scottish seaport town of Alexandria. Our funeral home is one of the oldest businesses in Virginia. Early ledgers include the services for other prominent statesman and Virginia families as well.
Demaine Funeral Home moved to 817 King Street at an undetermined date. In 1952, we relocated to our present location on South Washington Street in Alexandria.
Innovative funeral care
The move from a storefront location to a 4-story white-column funeral home with on-site parking, flower shop and a chapel and parlors—capable of accommodating over 400 guests—was a significant step in our lustrous history.
Innovations were introduced in the form of a smoking lounge and family room, where family privacy could be provided during the service. In 1968, Demaine Funeral Home expanded to the outlying community of Springfield.
Today, we remain committed to providing families innovative funeral and memorial services paired with local, compassionate care.
Life Well Celebrated
We take personalized funeral services to the next level with custom menus, themed decor, just the right music, keepsakes and much more to reflect the unique life of each individual.
