Valzina Lewis

The entire Aikens Funeral staff was a blessing to my family. We never had to worry about funeral arrangements for our brother. The funeral home in Virginia coordinated with Aikens Funeral Home so my brother body could be flown to Tampa with no problems. Aikens did everything we asked of them with no problems. We admire how professional the Aikens staff handled everything. They treated us like family. I would recommend Aikens Funeral home to anyone that has loss a love one.

I am writing to wholeheartedly recommend Aikens Funeral Home for their exceptional service and care during one of the most difficult times in my life. In November 2025, they handled the cremation arrangements for my mother, Dr. Arlessa Kubon, and I cannot speak highly enough of the compassion and professionalism they demonstrated throughout the entire process. From the very beginning, the staff treated my sister and me with patience, kindness, and genuine empathy. They took the time to answer every question we had, no matter how small, and provided thoughtful, professional guidance as we navigated the homegoing of our mother. Their support helped ease the burden during an incredibly emotional time. What truly stood out was their consistent communication and care. They checked in on us regularly, ensuring that we felt supported and informed every step of the way. In particular, LaCheryl Aikens-Guzman provided outstanding personal attention, going above and beyond to make sure our needs were met with compassion and professionalism. Their attention to detail and commitment to honoring our mother’s memory gave us comfort and peace of mind. Aikens Funeral Home provides an invaluable service to the Tampa, Florida community. Their dedication to excellence, combined with their heartfelt compassion, makes them a trusted choice for families in need. I highly recommend Aikens Funeral Home to anyone seeking professional, respectful, and caring funeral services. Sincerely, Leslie Roberts II Charlottesville,VA

Jamal Azzam

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. 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. 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. Thank you for taking such good care of my mom and our family when we needed it most.

Response from owner

Your words mean a great deal to our entire team, and we remain here for the families we serve whenever they need us.

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. 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. The family of James R. Terrell Jr. thank you and appreciate your dedicated service. 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.

During our family’s time of need, Aikens Funeral Home Staff was there every step of the way. They made sure everything was in order for my mother’s services and explained the process throughly. Being from the Tampa area, I had always heard good things about Aikens Funeral Home but had never used their services. I was impressed by the staff’s competency and care for their clients during and after services.

I have used 2 other funeral homes in the Tampa area for end of life services and Aikens has been the best. I’m so pleased that I chose them for my mom’s celebration of life. I would recommend Aikens to anyone if you want top notch service with quality prices.

Thank you to Aikens Funeral Home for their support during this time of stress for my family. Experiencing the loss of a loved one who was cherished and honored not only through family, friends, her beloved City of Tampa, Florida brought continued awareness to the many ways a single act can make a huge impact on others. Aikens provided consistent direction and acts of comfort during and after by providing resource materials after our business relationship ended. Nothing is ever perfect but this experience shall always be remembered.

Unfortunately I had to bury my father and this was my first experience managing funeral services for a love one. I stand 10 toes down with AIKENS FUNERAL HOME IN TAMPA FL!! Trenise and the staff was nothing short of compassionate and professional! Very great communicators!!! You’re not rushed nor swayed to purchase anything outside of your budget. They offer help outside of funeral services, they assisted me with items I needed for the repass and I had a personal staff member contacting me throughout the entire process and guiding me day of services. I felt alone due to minimal family help but AIKENS stepped in and filled that emptiness and assured me my father services is in great hands! My dad looked sooooo good y’all! Aikens is the place to assist with sending your love one home in a classy affordable way!

Response from owner

Thank you for sharing your heartfelt experience, Sweet Sadie. We are deeply sorry for your loss and are honored to have been there for you during this difficult time. We're glad to hear that Trenise and our staff provided you with the compassionate support you needed. Your kind words mean a lot to us and reaffirm our commitment to serving families with care and professionalism.

Experiencing a death of a loved one is certainly not easy and then trying to arrange a funeral on top of that is hard. However, I must say, Aikens Funeral Home in Tampa, FL, made our planning process smooth for my family. From start to finish the staff is guiding you the whole way through. The Aikens Family(the atmosphere felt family oriented) assured us that they will be with us every step of the way, and they did just that! I may have called, text, and emailed like a hundred times lol, but they never made me feel as if I was a bother to them. Even when it was a slight minor bump in the road, they did all they could to smooth it over. The Aikens Family truly exemplify professionalism, dedication and hard work! I encourage everyone who is seeking a funeral home, to call Aikens!!! You won't be disappointed!🙏🏽🥰 A big special thank you to the Aikens Funeral Home! May God continue to bless and keep you and 🙌🏽🙏🏽

Recently, in January 2024 my aunt passed away in Tampa. My husband & I live in Punta Gorda FL and we needed to find a good caring funeral home. I called Aikens Funeral Home and drove there. Upon meeting Cheryl I knew we had found the right place. She is a wonderful funeral director. I never looked anywhere else. She handled everything w her wonderful staff. Samantha and everyone was kind, caring, respectful, and so supportive & helpful. I can’t say enough how grateful we were to have them take excellent care of my aunt’s entire funeral. She even priced everything reasonably. I highly recommend Aikens. 10 ⭐️

I am a cousin of the late Robert L. Cole, Sr. The professional service from the staff was outstanding and remarkable. From the moment the staff came into the b&b and I stepped into the limousine and exited to my lodging in Tampa, it left an impressionable mark on me. I am 71 years old and what I witnessed reminded me of how things used to be! Quiet, calming, honoring the deceased etc. Please continue operating your establishment in this manner. I am so glad my family entrusted your services for honoring a father, grand father, great great grand, brother, uncle and cousin, the late Robert L.

My mom passed away on April 25th and we entrusted Aikens Funeral Home with her care. They took care of all of my family's needs from the start. They coordinated our payment to the cemetery even when a staff member from the cemetery said that it couldn't be done. They walked us thru the process of making the arrangements. Their driver was very professional and courteous. It has been a couple of months and they have called several times to check on us. We would recommend them for the Tampa Bay area.

What I’ve learned is that in the most difficult times, the person or people that you’ve never met before will be the ones that help you the most. That was a lesson that I learned by just picking up the phone and Mrs.Cheryl was on the other line. Mrs.Cheryl is the owner of Aikens Funeral Home located in Tampa Florida. My father, William F Morales passed away. It had been years since I’ve seen or heard of my father. My father was living in Tampa. Unfortunately, my father passed. I am not from Tampa Florida. So going through this process was very difficult because I had no family to turn to. But the night that I made the phone call to Mrs.Cheryl I felt a sense of ease and peace. When I made arrangements I met Mr. Jones who is absolutely fantastic walking me through the process and making the arrangements for my father absolutely with Respect and with Grace. I pray that I never have to go through this again, but in life, there are no guarantees. Except the people from Mrs.Cheryl to Mr.Jones and the Aikens Funeral Home Family will be there for you in the most difficult time that anyone has to go through. I am truly blessed and fortunate to have made that phone call to the Aikens Funeral Home. I truly appreciate all you have done for me and my Family. God Bless.

Worst funeral home on the planet! Don't let them near your deceased loved ones!! Liars, incompetent, deceitful and disrespectful staff and substandard service! I have no respect for Cheryl, her staff and the owner. Our immediate family unanimously decided not to use their funeral home in Tampa to handle the services of our terminally ill loved one. They totally devastated our family members and they are still upset to this day by the way Cheryl and her staff handled our deceased loved one's funeral service that occurred 2 years ago. Never again. She made no attempt to resolve the complaint we made, nor did she bother to contact myself nor my aunt to resolve the issue, she unprofessionally contacted an outside party that had nothing to do with our complaint. Shady! Never pay them up front to handle you loved ones either. Video tape and record every contact you have with Cheryl and her staff!
