- KSKim SharpeMay 7, 20265.0Words cannot begin to express our sincere appreciation and gratitude for all you all did for us during this time of final farewell to dad.
- CMCornelia MusserApr 30, 20265.0Please give a warning to family if the deceased has had bright blue gloves placed over their hands. The assistant tried to fix by placing a handkerchief but that was not working- instead we pulled the white sheeting and covered her hands so as not to look tacky or to have family upset. Thank you for everything.

Frequently Asked Questions About Fairfax Memorial Funeral Home
How long does the actual cremation take?
It depends on the weight of the individual. For an average size adult, cremation takes from 3 to 4 hours at normal operating temperature between 1,650 degrees F to 2,000 degrees F.
What happens after the cremation is complete?
All bone fragments, which are very brittle, as well as inorganic metal items are swept into the front of the cremation chamber and into a stainless steel cooling pan. All non-consumed items, such as metal from clothing, artificial joints, and dental implants, are separated from the cremated remains. This separation is accomplished through visual inspection as well as using a strong magnet for smaller and minute metallic objects. Items such as dental gold and silver are non-recoverable and are commingled in with the cremated remains. Remaining bone fragments are then processed in a machine to a consistent size and placed into a temporary or permanent urn, selected by the family.
In what kind of container are the cremated remains returned?
The cremated remains are placed in a basic container at no charge to you. Or they may be placed in the urn of your choice from our large selection of urns available for purchase.

There are many options. Remains can be buried in a cemetery lot or cremation garden, inurned in a columbarium, kept at home, or scattered on private property. Our staff will be happy to discuss these options with you and make any arrangements.
