Metropolitan Funeral Services

The team at Metropolitan Funeral Services is wonderful. The building itself is very humble, tucked away in an industrial area of Alexandria. Don't let this fool you. Everyone I worked with there was on top of everything, working hard to ensure my loved one's remains were transported in a timely manner, and advising me on how to work through all the next steps I needed to figure out. Junior, Sharon, and Karen (the Funeral Director-Manager) were are all fantastic. Thank you to the team at Metropolitan!

In route to Washington DC ARLINGTON nationalCemetery today I learned that a real id was required to enter the gate. I was traveling in the funeral coach with the casketed remains of a World War II veteran . I was at a loss As to what to do since, according to Arlington, there was no exception . lost to no exception … and Metropolitan came to mind. True to form … They answered my call with professionalism, kindness and a can do attitude! Karen and Dennis rerouted me to them and Eric ( real id in hand ) was waiting when I arrived to take the wheel and get us on property and allow BURLINGTONmy family to be served … I will always engage Metropolitan as they are categorically the best !!! Thank you Dennis, Eric and Karen !!’ - JP

I am a funeral director in Florida, and Karen was extremely helpful in helping us arrange a burial at The National Memorial Cemetery of Quantico. If you are an out-of-town funeral director looking for assistance with placement at Arlington National Cemetery or The National Memorial Cemetery at Quantico, I highly recommend contacting Karen or one of her colleagues. Karen, thank you for helping us serve our veterans and their families.

Dennis and the staff at Metropolitan were amazing. I am a funeral director in California. We mailed documents to the Nicaraguan Consulate in DC. The consulate was unresponsive for nearly 2 weeks. I reached out to Metropolitan and they were kind enough to drive over to the consulate, retrieve our documents and send them back to us. The family also thanks the staff. We are now able to get their loved one home to Nicaragua. Thank you, Dennis, Alan, Bruce and staff! We couldn't have done it without you. Rose

Highly recommended! From the moment we called them, right up to the burial at Arlington, they were first class, all the way. The family of the Lieutenant Colonel we that we forwarded, to them, was extremely pleased with Metropolitan and their service. It makes us feel so much better knowing that we are being represented by a professional funeral firm in Arlington.
