I give Aikens Funeral Home 10 🌟 stars! They are very professional and were passionate to our family needs! Step by step. More importantly, they did not "rush" the service!!!

At a time when I was at my lowest I was able to rely on the team from Aikens. From our first arrangement meeting to walking out of their doors on our service day, they were top notch professionals from the receptionist to the owner herself. The amenities they offered for our service as well as the clergy and musicians was exemplary. This is a first class business , I’m glad I chose Aiken funeral home.

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.

We would like to take this opportunity to sincerely express our heartfelt gratitude and appreciation to Aikens Funeral Home for the incredible compassion, professionalism, and care shown to our family during two of the most painful and emotional times in our lives. We entrusted Aikens Funeral Home with the services for our beloved grandmother, Mrs. Mary Gatlin, and most recently our precious Baby Jadell, and both experiences confirmed exactly why this funeral home is truly one of a kind. From the very beginning, the staff treated our family with dignity, patience, understanding, and genuine compassion. During moments when our hearts were heavy and words were difficult to find, they stepped in and guided us with grace and kindness. Losing a loved one is never easy, especially the heartbreaking loss of a child, but the love and support shown by the Aikens team brought our family comfort during unimaginable pain. The services for Baby Jadell were beyond beautiful. Every detail was handled with such care, excellence, and professionalism. The setup was breathtaking, peaceful, and filled with so much love that it touched everyone in attendance. In the middle of our grief, Aikens Funeral Home created an atmosphere that honored Baby Jadell’s life so beautifully and gave our family memories we will hold close forever. We truly cannot imagine another funeral home providing the level of service, compassion, and attention to detail that was given to us. We would especially like to thank Mrs. Aikens, Tom, Eugenia, and Andrew for going above and beyond for our family. Your kindness, patience, comforting words, professionalism, and dedication did not go unnoticed. Each of you carried yourselves with excellence while making our family feel supported every step of the way. The genuine care you showed made a tremendous difference during one of the darkest periods of our lives. Because of the experiences we have had with your funeral home, our family has fully determined that Aikens Funeral Home is, and always will be, our family funeral home. That title is not given lightly. It comes from trust, consistency, compassion, and the unforgettable way you cared for our loved ones and our family. Thank you again for everything you have done and continue to do for families in the community. Your work is more than a service. It is a ministry of compassion, healing, dignity, and love. May God continue to bless each of you abundantly for the comfort and peace you bring to grieving families every single day. Sincerely, Ms. Bell

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

The entire staff have shown compassion, comfort, care and concern for myself and my family throughout the planning, viewing, burial and afterwards. They call, text and e-mail to check on us and to let us know they are available, if needed. This is what a family needs after everything is done and the owner and staff at Aikens do just that. I was surprised but oh so grateful. Thanks Aikens owner and staff for your outpouring sincere concern for the Washington family. We appreciate ya'll. May God continue to shower you all with blessings upon blessings.

Althea provided exceptional care and support to my grandmother during my uncle’s service. From before the service started, throughout, and even afterward, she was attentive, compassionate, and incredibly kind. During such a difficult time, she went above and beyond to make sure my grandmother felt comfortable and supported. Her patience, professionalism, and genuine warmth truly made a difference for our family. I would also like to thank Joe for being so accommodating throughout the planning process. He was understanding and flexible with my grandmother’s changes, which meant so much during an already emotional time. We are truly grateful for both of them and highly recommend their services to anyone looking for a team that genuinely cares.

I’ve encountered a few cold & desensitized funeral personnel while trying to figure out what’s the most affordable for my family. I worked with Eugenia Jackson at Aikens and she showed me her heart and her customer service. She listened without interrupting and just allowed me to have a few moments grieving during this process. She gave me grace in a world of heartless people. Miss Jackson, thank you for being the best part of burying our loved one. Thank you for gently guiding me thru this process! Many praises to you, Aikens!

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

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. 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. The preparation and presentation of our loved one was elegant and everything started and ended on time. 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.

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.

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.

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!

A Heartfelt Thank You to Aiken's Funeral Home When we lost our beloved son, SSgt Adonys N., words cannot fully express the overwhelming grief we felt.

From the very first phone call, the staff at Aiken’s went above and beyond to ensure our needs were met with kindness and understanding. They took the time to listen, offering personalized grieving support that was not only considerate but truly healing. It wasn’t just about the logistics of planning the funeral — they walked with us through the emotional process, offering guidance and comfort every step of the way. The personalized touches they incorporated into the ceremony made it so meaningful. They truly took the time to understand our son’s spirit, personality, and the special memories we wanted to honor. Every detail, from the service itself to the grief resources they provided, was handled with the utmost respect and care. Aiken’s Funeral Home didn’t just serve us as a business, but as a compassionate team who genuinely cared about our emotional well-being.

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 🙌🏽🙏🏽

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.

Aikens Funeral home was there for my family in our time of grief. They helped my family step by step to give my husband a beautiful service. Joseph one of the directors was the main person who helped my family and he was amazing. I had to talk with other staff members and overall they were a blessing for my family. My family has found another family “Aikens “ to help us when we are grieving. God bless and keep the Aikens family Funeral Home.

Aaron McNeil
One of my mother final request before passing, was for us to utilize Aikens Funeral Home for her final arrangements, and they did not disappoint! Losing a love one is difficult, and hurtful. However, Aikens was able to provide a measure of solace during this time. Accepting the reality of your loved-one's transition, is easier with less hiccups. The staff was extremely professional and attentive to our needs. Aikens was true to their motto, "Where everything matters". If it was important to us, then it was important to them. Their online forms were easy to navigate, and assisted in creating our obituary. I also was pleased at how accommodating they were toward our last minute changes to various items. Certainly, if I am in need of their services again, I will not hesitate to contact them. Aaron and Sybil McNeil

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.

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!

Everyone that was involved in the handling of our loved one and the preparation of the service was professional, sincere, kind and most of all understanding. No question or questions went unanswered. The service was beautiful and my dad was given a home going celebration to remember. On behalf of myself and the entire Bryant family, I would like to thank the staff of Aikens Funeral Home for a job well done.

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.

After the passing of my beloved husband of 43 years, I was so devastated. The Aikens funeral home family made the transition so much easier than I could have ever imagined. They were like extended family throughout the whole funeral and burial process, comforting and help meeting every one of our needs, right down to a cover for the flag presented to us by the US Air Force to which Sandy had served. They are the epitome of what a Funeral Service should be like. Our family will be forever grateful to them for their excellent care. The Banks Family

Wow, what an experience with this funeral home!!!! They were so accommodating, very professional, clean, smell good, very helpful in all areas. The way they handle my family was like nothing I’ve ever experienced. From them being knowledgeable in the things we didn’t know, they helped us organize the whole process. Even the sound system was great, and the projector screen was very convenient to show the slide show. You even had a where we could use a usb drive so that the video would run smoothly. One of the best let’s were that for the ones that couldn’t attend, you provided a live stream so everyone could view it. From the pricing, to arranging the funeral service, the repast. I would recommend this company to any of my family members, friends, anyone. Thank you for making this experience such an easy transition!!!!! You guys went above and beyond and our family thank you
