My brother who lived in Virginia recently passed very unexpectedly. I live in Connecticut and had no way to get to Virginia in a timely manner. Everyone was so kind, accommodating and thoughtful as they guided me through the process remotely. I am grateful for the patience and time they were more than willing to give me. A special thank you to Jeremy for all his help.

My father recently passed. We went with Fairfax Memorial’s Complete Funeral Service, and we’re very glad we did.
Their team handled everything and made sure that the only thing we had to do was to pay our respects to my dad. Jeremy and Caitlin were incredibly accommodating and repeatedly went out of their way to ensure we had everything we needed.

My siblings and I truly appreciate the support from the staff of Fairfax Memorial Funeral Home. A special thank you to our assigned coordinator, Byron Maldonado, for the guidance and attention to detail for our specific needs and requests. Navigating and coordinating services during a very difficult time is overwhelming but with the support of caring staff at Fairfax Memorial Home, it was possible and I must say, we were able to give my beloved Mom a beautiful celebration, that she truly deserves. From the bottom of my heart, MANY THANKS!!!

Hello, I am Ms Collis and you serviced me and my family in the passing of my mother Ms Watson. First I must commend Sean McCoy for her professionalism and soft caring attitude. Communicating with her was just excellent. Secondly, I am very pleased with the overall service that I received from your funeral home. Continue service of excellence.
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.
What can be done with the cremated remains?
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.
