CFC's, and especially web services, are generally considered to be used for data access or business logic, not for any type of display.
However, if you are dead set on doing this, then you can just put your HTML inside the CFFUNCTION just like you would with a custom tag. You can specify output="yes" in the function declaration and then you don't need to use cfoutput in your function, or you can leave output attribute off and use cfoutput in your function. Note that there is currently a bug in CFMX where html generated from a CFC is not displayed when the CFC is stored in a shared scope variable (application/session). If you want to use a web service for this, then wrap all the output inside cfsavecontent and return it as a string.
