You will need to return a value using cfreturn . Try this.
<cfcomponent>
<cffunction name="getEmp" access="remote">
<cfargument name="lastName" required="true">
<cfset var empQuery="">
<cfset var MyVar="">
<cfquery name="empQuery" datasource="OLO">
SELECT *
FROM owners
WHERE family_name = '#arguments.lastName#'
</cfquery>
<cfsavecontent variable="MyVar">
<cfoutput>Results filtered by #arguments.lastName#:</cfoutput><br>
<cfdump var=#empQuery#>
</cfsavecontent>
<cfreturn MyVar>
</cffunction>
</cfcomponent>
