Our family had to transfer our loved one from another state back to Aikens in Florida. Joseph Evans was our assigned director and every detail was handled with professionalism and thoughtfulness. He guided us through each step with patience and clarity, making a difficult time feel a little lighter and a lot more supported.<br>The professionalism of the Aikens team allowed us to focus on celebrating my grandmother’s life rather than worrying about logistics. Joseph communicated promptly and clearly with me every step of the way, he was organized and just simplified every part of the difficult process of burying a loved one for our family.<br>The preparation and presentation of our loved one was elegant and everything started and ended on time.<br>If you are looking for a funeral home that leads with compassion, professionalism, and respect, we cannot recommend them highly enough. They helped us to give my grandmother a beautiful, meaningful farewell.

Aikens Funeral Home in Tampa went above and beyond during one of the hardest moments of my life. After my mother passed away, they treated her with the utmost dignity, respect, and care, and supported our family every step of the way.<br><br>I want to give special recognition to Eugenia Jackson, who helped embalm my mom and handled all of the complicated paperwork and logistics needed to transport her to Lebanon for a proper burial. This process could have been overwhelming, but Eugenia was professional, and incredibly thorough. She made sure everything—from the documentation to the airline ticket—was completed correctly and on time, giving us peace of mind during an incredibly painful period.<br><br>The entire staff showed genuine care, patience, and understanding. I am deeply grateful for their support and kindness, and I highly recommend Aikens Funeral Home to anyone in need of compassionate and trustworthy service.<br><br>Thank you for taking such good care of my mom and our family when we needed it most.

Aikens Funeral Home staff are top tier with professionalism, care and providing attentive service. I am not from the Tampa Bay area, and Aikens was referred to me, a family owned business that truly cared for people. My initial contact confirmed this was who I needed to handle my brothers arrangements. Ms. Bryt was amazing from the beginning to the end. The team assigned to our family on the day of the service supported me and the family the entire time. We were never treated just as customers but as a part of a family.<br>The care shown during this difficult time and after goes beyond anything I could hope for. The Aftercare team has been phenomenal with checking to see if I am in need of anything from Aikens or any other resource.<br>The family of James R. Terrell Jr. thank you and appreciate your dedicated service.<br>I highly recommend Aikens Funeral Home to anyone who is In search of a compassionate caring Funeral home to handle your loved one's arrangements. I would give 10 stars hands down.

Akins Funeral Home was truly amazing during one of the hardest times our family has ever faced. From start to finish, they were professional, reliable, and incredibly supportive. Being a family-owned business, they treated us like more than just clients—they treated us like family. Every interaction made us feel supported and understood, never rushed or treated like just another “customer”. Every detail was handled with care, compassion, and respect, which gave us peace of mind when we needed it most. Their kindness and guidance made an overwhelming experience feel manageable, and we are deeply grateful for the comfort they provided. I would highly recommend Akins Funeral Home to anyone in need of compassionate and dependable service. Akins Funeral Home will forever hold a special place in our hearts. If I could give 10 stars I would!

Extremely disappointed with the services provided by Aikens Funeral Home.<br>Despite arrangements being made, my great aunt's obituary was never placed in the Florida Sentinel, which caused distress to family members who relied on that notice.<br>Additionally, the family paid $750 for livestreaming, yet the livestream did not begin until halfway through the service, preventing many loved ones from viewing the service in real time.<br>We were also charged $1,200 for an escort service that was short-staffed, resulting in confusion and disorganization.<br>Overall, the experience was unprofessional and poorly coordinated, especially during a time when grieving families deserve care, attention, and accountability.

The Aikens Funeral Home staff is very professional and caring. They were able to quell my stress and frustration when my family and I faced some issues with another funeral company. Mrs. Eugenia and her staff were able retrieve my mom’s remains and got my mom ready to be transported for the funeral services out of state in a timely manner. I would recommend their business to anyone who needs to make funeral arrangements for their loved ones.

I hear so many phenomenal stories about this funeral home but I received news from a relative that the professionalism wasn't so professional the service for the matriarch of my extended family.. we know it's a business, but let's keep in mind losing a loved one is the most difficult time and my cousins didn't feel the love and warmth she deserved while preparing to lay her mom to rest...

If it wasn’t for Aikens Funeral Home, I don’t know how my family and I would have made it through such a difficult time. During our time of need, they were always there to answer the phone and offer support. They walked with us through every step after my mother’s passing with care, compassion, and professionalism. I truly appreciate everything they did for our family and would highly recommend Aikens Funeral Home to anyone.

We are deeply grateful to Aikens Funeral Home for their exceptional care and professionalism during one of the hardest moments of our lives. They handled the international transfer of my father with precision and respect, and cared for him with dignity while all paperwork and logistics were completed.<br><br>Lauren was consistently responsive and organized, keeping us updated, explaining what to expect, and ensuring every detail was handled correctly. LaCheryl Aikens-Guzman, the owner, was also very supportive and compassionate, and her personal attention helped us feel reassured and cared for.<br><br>They were sensitive to our grief and showed genuine empathy throughout. By managing the timelines, requirements, and documentation so smoothly, they allowed us to focus on our family instead of the technical process. Their support meant a lot to me, it brought real relief during an overwhelming time, and I sincerely recommend them to any family needing thoughtful, dependable care.

This was my first experience in planning a service for a love one my Aunt Corine. God is good, He placed Eugenia and others to help make this process easier. Eugenia and Andrew what an awesome team, they went above and beyond to make this process during the time while my heart was breaking and my understanding process wasn't clear. They explain everything in detail. Thank you for your heart of service. I would definitely recommend Aikens.

Losing a loved one is never easy, but Mrs. LaCheryl Aikens-Guzman and the staff at the Aikens Funeral Home made this experience effortless. From the initial contact, to the last minutes at the grave site, they were cognizant of our family, our feelings, and were consistently compassionate, to having the obituary posted online and in the newspaper all combined to make this process uncomplicated. I can't thank Joseph (Joe) Evans and the entire Aikens Funeral Home staff enough for going above and beyond. Their kindness and attention to detail were a huge comfort and they made sure everything was perfect for my husband service. We are grateful to Aikens Funeral Home staff and would highly recommend them.

From start to finish Aikens Funeral home provided the most caring yet professional atmosphere for me to create the most beautiful service to celebrate the life of my Grandmother. Having never to have had to do this before and not even knowing where to start, Joe provided options that were set up in packages that were beautiful and made decision making super simple. Even was able to use their chapel, minster, and musicians. Options for extras such as pillows, urns, and other keepsakes also available. But the thing that impressed my family the most was how beautiful my Grandmother looked. She looked as tho she were asleep. I mean she looked like the definition of resting in peace and for that we are truly greatful.

If I could give more stars I would. I will forever be grateful for the excellent customer service and compassion Aikens had demonstrated. Me and my family hadn't a clue what we were doing as far as it went for funeral arrangements. After my fathers' passing away 7/30/2025 we scrambled to find a funeral establishment to help us. Aikens funeral is truly a blessing in disguise. We were guided through the whole process there were times where I felt overwhelmed making changes to times and dates for family members to attend either the funeral and/or the wake Aikens were more than accommodating. I would definitely recommend to anyone in need. Oh and staff were always professional and courteous. Thank you Aikens!
