About

Cemetery
The cemetery was established in 1957 by Cornelius H. Doherty, Sr. (1896-1969). Cornelius H. Doherty, Jr., served as President from 1967 until 2010, and his son, Michael H. Doherty, served as President from 2010 until 2020. All three were/are practicing attorneys and have been instrumental in establishing Virginia laws regulating cemeteries. The family's dream was to have a funeral home on the property, and the 6-acre parcel on Braddock Road where it now stands had been set aside for that purpose.

    Pre-planning my funeral with the first step in acquiring my burial place was not only a positive experience, but one I am so very thankful I began with a huge relief. Cathy Younkin, Advanced Planning Advisor, at Fairfax Memorial Funeral Home was professional, knowledgeable and courteous in guiding me with all my questions answered as well. I am hoping anyone reading this will consider pre-planning for there is much to know, consider and chose.

    Sincere gratitude to director Tom deSabla for his compassionate guidance in arranging my future burial site alongside my sister and brother in law. I presented Tom with quite a challenge as I live across the country. Our initial phone conversations were lengthy but never rushed. Documents prepared by Tom were immediate, clear, and concise. When I was recently able to meet Tom face to face at Fairfax Memorial Park with my sister and brother in law, we all benefited from his continuing kindness, knowledge, and advice in finalizing all aspects of our future burials. We now have a sense of peace for ourselves and for our family in the DC area. Thank you, Tom, from the bottom of my heart. Marcia

    Some of the most incompetent people here. They screwed up my wife’s marker. Then tried to say it was my fault because it was on a payment. Which it was not it had been paid in full still have never heard from any of the owners or any of the people in management with an the best person is the lady at the front desk. She seems to know what’s going on these guys are a joke and if I had a choice, I would never have taken my wife’s remains here.

    I would give 10 stars if I could. I wanted to thank Cathy Younkin for doing such a beautiful job on my Aunt Linda's funeral service. She exceeded our expectations. Thank you for going above and beyond. She is fantastic. Ms. Younkin helped me coordinate this all the way from California. My aunt passed away unexpectedly, and the loss was incredibly overwhelming for our family. Because my parents were so far away and very low tech savvy, every detail had to be handled through phone calls, snapshots and the occasion email that I could print on paper so they could read it, which made an already painful time even harder. I stayed with them throughout the process—taking photos, sharing updates, and helping communicate each decision as plans slowly came together. She showed extraordinary compassion and patience, truly going above and beyond when we needed it most. Despite her never being able to coordinate this with any of us in person, she took so much care with every detail, making sure everything was beautiful, meaningful, and exactly what our family needed. we flew in the day of the funeral with everything ready to go so we could spend the time to mourn. Her dedication and kindness and time, brought comfort during one of the most heartbreaking moments of our lives, and we will never forget the care she showed our family. We purchased the doves, the organ, the food during tea and crumpets so our family and friends could gather and be with each other. The big makeup package, the videos, the prayer cards and the catholic priest (they asked what denomination we wanted) also the flowers. Thank you again.

    Cathy Younkin was great. Very friendly, great personality, and did everything she could to get what I was looking for. She took me around the park and show me everything I have in questions and more. She showed me all the posible options at the park, provided me with the selection maps of the available properties, break down everything when we sat and do the paperwork. She'll work with you to get what you needed. I got great discount from FMP at the final settle. Everything was transparent. Very easy and smooth transaction and got everything done in 2 visits. Thanks Cathy!

Frequently Asked Questions About Fairfax Memorial Park

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.
