Fairfax Memorial Funeral Home is located on the grounds of Fairfax Memorial Park, a 128-acre nonsectarian cemetery, originally known as Calvary Memorial Park.
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 the establishment of Virginia laws regulating cemeteries.
It was the family's dream 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. Fairfax Memorial Funeral Home opened August 15, 2003. Now, virtually all of a family's needs in connection with a funeral can be served from one location with the cemetery, funeral home and crematory.
The funeral home is operated under the same philosophy of service and commitment. Special care is given to accommodate the customs and traditions of the families that we serve.
