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.

- MDMiles DisciulloFeb 26, 20262.0scalia is here.
- RRRichFeb 24, 20265.0My wife and I met with Fairfax Memorial Planning Manager, Ms. Cathy Younkin, to plan our future funeral arrangements. Although it was a difficult topic, Ms. Younkin made the process comfortable and easy to understand. We first met her at an estate planning seminar, where she encouraged planning to ensure personal wishes are honored and to reduce emotional and financial stress on family members. Throughout our meetings, she was professional, compassionate, and very knowledgeable. Ms. Younkin guided us through selecting our arrangements and burial site with care and respect, giving us peace of mind. We highly recommend Ms. Younkin and the Fairfax Memorial staff to anyone considering pre-planning services.

- TFTeddy FessehaFeb 6, 20265.0Back in November 2025, just a few days before Thanksgiving, we lost our beloved father. As our family was navigating an incredibly difficult and emotional time, we contacted Deshawna Day, the Family Service Advisor at Fairfax Memorial, to begin the burial process. From the very first conversation, Deshawna guided and supported us through every step. Her knowledge of the burial process, her empathy, and—most importantly—her unwavering support during such a painful moment were truly remarkable. She clearly explained the costs, timelines, and all the logistics, which helped ease so much of our stress. On behalf of our entire family, we want to say thank you a million times over. In addition, her consistent communication—whether by email or text—always carried a sense of urgency and care. Because of her dedication and high‑priority attention, we were able to complete the entire process within just five days, despite the Thanksgiving holiday. Deshawna is a caring, honest, and exceptionally knowledgeable person. We are deeply grateful for everything she did for our family during one of the hardest moments of our lives. God Bless you!!!

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.
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.
