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.

    My wife and I recently completed our pre-planned funeral arrangements with Cathy Younkin, Advanced Planning Manager, Fairfax Memorial Funeral Home & Park Cemetery. It was a pleasure getting to know Cathy and working with her on our pre-planned funeral arrangements. We had three sessions with her and she was very patient working with us and answering all of our questions. We knew from the start that we wanted a detailed plan. We wanted to be sure that each of us knew what our partners wanted. In the end, we developed a plan for each of us that can be carried out by our children. And in the end, we decided to pre-pay for the funeral. We are now very comfortable knowing that our two funerals are well defined and paid for. We both are very comfortable knowing that Cathy was looking out for our best interest, that our children have all the guidance they need, and that the funeral is all paid for! Thanks so much, Cathy.

    This past Thursday was an extremely fruitful and peaceful meeting with Cathy Younkin, Funeral Director and Director of Community Outreach, and Lucas Pekich! Pre-planning one's funeral can be so traumatic because of all the details and questions concerning your final arrangements! Cathy and Lucas were the kindest, most compassionate, understanding and professional people to speak with concerning your final arrangements! They are great listeners! Cathy knows the exact questions to ask and make one feel calm, assured and very comfortable in facilitating your final wishes! I would definitely recommend Fairfax Memorial Funeral Home to anyone looking to pre-plan their final arrangements! It IS a one-stop-shop place! They take care of everything! Please consider pre-planning your final arrangements so you don't burden your family with any financial concerns or placing the burden on them to make all the decisions for your services! It's a great gift to your family to pre-plan!! Cathy Younkin is the best person to speak with! She is a pro and so compassionate! She will work with you and consider your personal circumstances! I feel like I have known her all my life! She is so personable, warm and extremely knowledgeable in all areas of their services! On arrival to Fairfax Memorial Lucas took me on a tour of all the grounds! They are beautiful, spacious and peaceful! Lucas was also very helpful, kind, smart and answered all my questions, too! Cathy and Lucas make you feel like family! They are the best pre-planning pros to answer your questions truthfully and with certainty! They make this very uncomfortable, awkward process easy and comforting!! I have been to Fairfax Memorial many times to visit my deceased friends. Fairfax Memorial's care and professionalism are unsurpassed! Now, I am on the other side of the fence planning my own future, final services when God chooses to take me home! There is no other place I would rather be than in Cathy's hands at the Fairfax Memorial! I know I will be taken care of with gentleness, concern and dignity!! Thank you so much and God bless you in all your endeavors to comfort those and the families you speak with in the most difficult times of their lives!! Peace of Mind is the most important, valuable gift we could ever experience and give to our families!!

    We are so grateful for the care we received at Fairfax Memorial Park during the difficult time of losing our mom. The memorial park itself is beautiful and peaceful, a very special place in the middle of the city. Nudia was wonderful from the very beginning, helping us choose the burial site and thoughtfully guiding us through the burial ceremony. She was kind, attentive, never pushy, and always respectful of our family and our wishes. One of the sweetest and most memorable touches was the bubbles she prepared for our guests during the ceremony. Blowing bubbles together felt like a beautiful way to send our love and kisses to mom in heaven. It was a simple gesture, but one we will always remember. Thank you, Nudia, for your kindness and for helping us create such a peaceful and meaningful farewell for our mom.

    We recently attended a pre-planning educational seminar at Fairfax Memorial presented by Cathy Younkin, Advanced Planning Manager, and her Advanced Planning Team. We were extremely impressed with how well the seminar was organized and presented. Cathy covered far more topics than we ever would have thought to ask about and explained everything in a clear, informative, and comfortable manner. The seminar gave us a much better understanding of the many decisions involved in advance planning and, more importantly, why it makes sense to begin thinking about these decisions before they become necessary. There was never any pressure—just a great deal of helpful information, thoughtful guidance, and an opportunity to ask questions. We left the seminar feeling much better informed and convinced that advance planning is something we should seriously consider. We highly recommend attending one of these educational seminars. Cathy Younkin and her team at Fairfax Memorial did an outstanding job.

    The Advance Planning Team (Cathy Younkin, Lucas Pekich and Ty Tucker) at Fairfax Memorial Park are caring, honest, straightforward people. No sales pressure, just honest answers from experienced people.

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.
