Benjamin at Fairfax Memorial Funeral Home was amazing. He walked us through everything while having mom’s body moved from NC to VA. He helped us set up the viewing room with all of our photo boards, pictures and video slide show. We rented out the reception room for a lunch afterwards and that all went very smoothly. I would highly recommend Fairfax Memorial Funeral Home for services and burial.

Aisha Zadran, my funeral director, and her entire team were outstanding from day one. Losing my mother was a shock to my system. I felt dazed, confused and just overall, numb. Aisha made everything run smoothly. Whatever I needed done during the planning of my mother’s funeral, Aisha assured me with her actions it would get completed. The viewing, my mother’s tribute video, the online obituary, the prayer cards, contacting our Catholic Church, the funeral mass and burial were less painful because Aisha and her team took the pressure off of me as well as my family. When I couldn’t breath in the beginning stages of my mother’s funeral Mass, Aisha calmed me down with the compassion of a loving mother instead of treating me like just another client. They are all top notch professionals. I am forever thankful and grateful to them. I highly recommend them for any funeral you need to plan.
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.
