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

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. 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. 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.

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.

I recently experienced a devastating loss, the loss of my best friend, my confidant, and my husband of 50 years. At a time like this, we must experience things that we really don’t want to, but must. I turned to Aikens Funeral home. I cannot express the services they provide for me at a time of a great loss to my family, the services they provided the care, the empathy the compassion they gave during this time cannot be expressed verbally. I’m so thankful for them. The entire Aikens staff was amazing. Everything they provided was above and beyond, the way they felt for and cared for the family. I felt as they felt our pain, so I would truly encourage anyone that has to experience a time like this. Please consider Aikens Funeral Home for they were above and beyond all that we could have expected. Thank you LaCheryl Aikens-Guzman & Staff.

During the most challenging time of our lives, LaCheryl and her team helped ease the moment by providing excellence service. She was patient, sensitive, kind, and very respectful of our wishes. We were able to say our final goodbye and send my brother to his resting place without worrying too much about the details. LaCheryl and her team took care of everything. She went up and beyond for our family and Iam truly grateful.

Aikens not only took care of our loved one, but also our entire grieving family. They were the light that helped guide us through these very dark times. They were compassionate, caring, professional, & respectful. Once they were involved, we were in good hands and less cripplingly burdened. Even weeks after the funeral & cremation, they were very giving of their time, advice, and assistance with government agency follow ups. LaCheryl and the entire staff are amazing, special, & wonderful people. Thank you for treating us like family. Your kindness is forever a loving memory.

This business deserves more than 5 stars. My experience with Aikens isn’t only great but also beyond measure. We used them for 3 funerals and they have never disappointed us. Their package prices are very reasonable and they can fit every’s budget who doesn’t want their loved one’s to be cremated. LaCheryl is the owner and caring lady. Her team is full of amazing people that treat their customers with lots of respect regardless of their backgrounds. May the Lord bless the work of your hands and bring more success in your endeavor.
