DANJOLELL Memorial Homes and Crematory stands as a beacon of compassionate care and dignified services for families during their times of loss. With a rich history dating back to its founding in 1963, this family-owned funeral home has become synonymous with professionalism, empathy and personalized support.
Founded in 1963 by Robert L. D’Anjolell, Sr. (“Rob Sr.”), DANJOLELL Memorial Homes has four locations in Delaware County and the Philadelphia area, including Broomall, Malvern-Frazer, Aston and Wallingford. All four locations have a traditional and distinguished exterior design and a first-class interior that includes a chapel, rooms and lounges specifically designed to accommodate the flow of family and guests for all types of funeral, cremation and memorial services.
Born during the Depression, Rob Sr. grew up in the Overbrook section of West Philadelphia. After graduating from Overbrook High School, he followed his mother’s recommendation to become a Funeral Director and graduated from Temple University, and then from mortuary science school.
When he was 27 he opened his first funeral home in Overbrook. His great success in serving that community enabled him to expand to Delaware
County and open the Broomall location in 1978.
Rob Sr.’s son Robert L. D’Anjolell, Jr. (“Rob Jr.”) joined the business as a Licensed Funeral Director in 1985. After attending St. Joe’s Prep and Franklin and Marshall College, he graduated from the American Academy McAllister Institute. An Executive Director of the business, Rob Jr. serves as Supervisor of the Broomall location and handles financial matters for the entire business. Rob Jr. and his wife Carol live in Newtown Square with their four children. Their son Michael graduated from Northampton University in 2021 and is now a resident intern at DANJOLELL Memorial Homes.
Rob Sr.’s other son, James W. D’Anjolell, Sr. (“Jim”), sadly passed away in 2020. For many years James served as Executive Director of the business and Supervisor of the Malvern-Frazer location. He is survived by his wife Margaret and two children.
