Cremation allows for more choices than many families realize. We offer the widest range of service options and product options in the area. In addition, our Cremation Safeguards ensure peace of mind, when you need it most. Call today to talk with one of our caring staff at (703) 465-1800.
Funeral Choices own and operate our own crematory with licensed and certified staff. Many other funeral homes hire third party crematories. These often have multiple funeral homes transferring remains in and out at any given time. This makes it nearly impossible for those other funeral homes to manage and supervise the cremation as well as what Funeral Choices can do for you.
To ensure security and eliminate the possibility of any error, you can rest assured Funeral Choices places a personal identification band on your loved one, the moment your loved one is transferred to our care. We know who they are, and where they are at all times.
At Funeral Choices, every person in our care is logged into our tracking system and assigned an identification number. Thus number is stamped into a stainless steel identification disc. We use this number to track every phase of the cremation process. Our tracking system includes date and time of arrival at our facility and name of the transfer technician. Personal belongings are cataloged and placed in a secure area for their family to decide what they wish to do with them.
We will ask you, or a representative, to positively identify him or her prior to cremation in the casket or cremation container of your choice. This is a requirement of the state of Virginia for anyone wanting cremation as final disposition.
Our high standards require that two individuals will review all cremation paperwork prior to cremation. This ensures authorizations have been received and properly documented. Once all documentation is verified, we proceed with the process.
We record the name of your loved one, the date and time of the cremation, identification number, crematory operator’s name, as well as additional information regarding the cremation.
The crematory documents, personal identification band and stainless steel identification disc are placed in crematory retort with the deceased, and are removed once the process is over.
After the cremation is complete, the cremated remains are placed with the stainless steel identification disc into an urn. You will be presented with a Certificate Of Cremation when you receive the cremated remains of your loved one. That guarantees all the above steps have been followed.
If you have any questions about the cremation process at Funeral Choices please do not hesitate to contact us at (703) 465-1800.

Coming from Florida to deal with my brothers death has been a nightmare to say the least. The only thing that has been pleasurable is the staff at Old Town Funeral Choices. The staff at both locations have been more than kind and understanding and helpful every step of the way, going above and beyond to be sure my brother was cared for appropriately until we picked up his remains. Thank you again.
The staff were extremely helpful and very professional, when we contacted Old Town Funeral Choices after my mother's passing. We could not have had a better experience during such a trying time. Thank you very much for your help and attention.
I cannot say enough good things about Ryan A. My uncle died very suddenly and unexpectedly just over 2 weeks ago. He lived alone and my cousin, mother and I traveled from out of state to the DC area to handle his affairs. We were all devastated, unprepared, and pretty out of our element. My cousin was hit especially hard, but was in charge of her dad’s arrangements. Ryan was absolutely wonderful. He showed tremendous compassion and patience while guiding us through what we needed to do. He helped make a horrific time much less terrible for my family. I consider myself fortunate that he was there to help us through this traumatic event. I would recommend this place to anyone because of him.
The staff were attentive, informative and helpful. Would recommend!
We got their service for our father's funeral and final process. Tom and Donnia are excellent and so are their other staffs. They truly pay condolence and respect the family left behind. Costs are reasonable also. When you call them, someone will answer promptly and do their best to help you out. Seems like they have a lot of experience in what they do. Thank you Tom and Donnia. I would definitely recommend them
My husband passed away October 2019. They were so respectful and sensitive. Their vehicle left us with lights flashing driving away slowly. We were asked if we wanted extra time before they departed. We were asked about him and his life. At their facility they prepared a viewing for us with soft lights. This was prior to cremation. Filling out paperwork, everything, was done with the utmost respect, wisdom and knowledge. I can’t say enough good things about them.
