  I've been to 3 different funerals here, and they were all severely lacking

  This afternoon I went to put flowers on my parents’ grave and discovered that their marker was almost completely covered by grass and grass clippings. After looking around I noticed other markers in that section were in the same condition . After getting down and physically removing enough grass and clippings to fill a full size grocery bag I decided to report this to the office. I took a photo of the marker to show the office. A representative in the office proceeded to explain it as an overgrown weed that was difficult to control. Then he added that maybe the groundskeeper was pulled away to work a burial. I informed him that all of the markers in this section had the same issues even though the section nearby was nicely manicured. I explained to him that my father was buried there in 1999 and I have visited the graveside several times a year and have never seen it like this . This representative never once apologized for the condition of my parents’ marker

  I went to visit the cemetery this afternoon and discovered two sandwich boards advertising two upcoming events. The first was a 5K run and the second was a movie night (Disney movie) to be held on the grounds. I find this highly disturbing. I went to the office to share my concern. A staff member explained these events as community outreach and shared they recently held a car show. He went on to explained that the cemetery was originally designed as a park. Fairfax County has a great park system with over 350 parks. I don’t want to have a cemetery holding community outreach events I want to visit a cemetery that is peaceful and not have hot rods or runners going by while I visit. I see no need to host movie night at a cemetery.

  We are incredibly grateful to Carmelita for all of her help and compassion during such a difficult and emotional time for our family. She was so kind, patient, and understanding while helping us make the funeral arrangements for our father. She took the time to answer every question we had, no matter how many times we needed to ask, and went above and beyond to help us find the perfect place for him. Her kindness and genuine care made such a difficult process a little easier for our family, and we truly appreciate everything she did for us. She made us feel heard, supported, and cared for every step of the way. We also want to mention how beautiful, clean, and incredibly well-kept the entire place is. You can tell that a lot of care and attention goes into maintaining the grounds and creating a peaceful environment for families. Thank you, Carmelita, for treating our family with so much kindness and for helping us give our father a beautiful and peaceful final resting place. We will always be grateful for your compassion and support. ❤️

  My father passed away in June, and I was faced with the overwhelming responsibility of making all the decisions for his burial. Fairfax Memorial offered reasonable pricing, an incredible staff, and beautifully kept grounds. Carmelita at the cemetery was truly my anchor during that time. She guided me through every step, answered every question and even brought up important details and questions I would not have known to discuss with my funeral director while we were planning. Whenever I meet with or speak to Carmelita, she feels like she's part of my family. Even when an unexpected issue arose shortly before the burial, the staff worked together and resolved it just in time to give my father the burial and celebration of life we had hoped and planned for. The front-desk staff at the funeral home were always helpful with my questions and treated us with genuine care. Mr. Michael has one of the kindest and comforting voices whenever you call the funeral home. The park has become a beautiful and peaceful place where my family gathers and shares memories of my dad. I'm grateful that I chose this place. If you come, ask for Carmelita.
