Something in my heart led me to Aiken Funeral Home. I wanted to give my son the most beautiful and respectful service which was a celebration of his life. From the first point of contact, the Aiken family and staff treated me and my family with the utmost dignity and respect. When I first viewed my son before the service, I was so pleased with the way he looked. He looked like he was peacefully asleep. I could not have been more pleased. Everyone who attended the service, said it was a lovely service. Thank you again to the Aiken Family and Staff for making this experience one I sincerely appreciate. Losing my son, is the worst thing any parent can experience. However, you took my son under your care and presented him to me and his family in a very loving and caring manner. God Bless Respectfully, Awilda Velez

You handled the services for our beloved Son, Brother, Friend, Neighbor, Rev. Dr. James N. Wilkerson, Jr. It was the hand of God guiding you in preparing him for his Homecoming because when we saw him, we saw him as he was pre-illness. What an AWESOME work. So from thankful us to thoughtful you, Thank you, God bless you, yours in the ministry he has given you.

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.

The Aikens team ensured that all the details and logistics of my father’s funeral were taken care of and helped ease some of the stress of planning during a time of grieving. Our family appreciated the dignity and respect in caring for my father throughout the planning process and service.

Aiken came through for our family because our situation was a bit different in that.my brother's body had to be preserved and shipped to another state for the funeral. Time was of the essence and they were sensitive of that. They made sure his body was shipped timely. And...they did an amazing job. He looked so natural.

This funeral home was a very good place for us. It treated us right and were very patient , kind ,supportive, caring, and many more. My brother was so handsome when we seen him. He was exactly how we wanted him and he smelled exactly like his cologne. I loved how they had helped us process everything and let us have a better memory of our brother ❤️

Friendly staff. Showed care through the entire process, helped me with all details. This was my first time making funeral arrangements and Aikens made process seamless. They paid great care with preparing mom for the viewing, making her look very natural and peaceful. I would definitely encourage them to always test their live stream equipment, hours before each service.

I would like to publicly thank Aikens Funeral Home for they’re service. From start to the finish the service was phenomenal. Ms.Cheryl showed gratitude & generosity as soon as we walked in her office. “Joe” one of the sweetest person I know, he had my mother looking so beautiful!! When he told me he would be dressing her & doing her makeup I almost had doubt, but once I saw her I could do nothing but hug & thank him with tears in my eyes.. They treat you like family & have been reaching out checking on me & my family! I thank you all for everything!

I have used Aikens funeral home for the burial process of 3 of my family members. Every time the staff were very professional, punctual, very caring & concerning of the feelings of my family & myself. They also checked on us several times throughout the weeks following the burial of our loved ones & might I add, all my deceased family members looked VERY VERY VERY nice as if they were sleeping in their caskets. I was very pleased with the overall service of Aikens funeral home.
