This was the hardest time in my life. Mrs. Eugenia was so amazing throughout this whole process. She was very patient with me. She was very knowledgeable, And willing to answer any questions I had. Sometimes it was the same question more than once, I just couldn’t understand, but she never got aggravated or upset. She also had a colleague, Miss Christina, who also really helped out a lot. Though this was a difficult time and everyone has to go through it, I would recommend you use Aiken funeral home. Everything was so beautiful everything went so smoothly. I really appreciate Eugenia and Christina at Aiken funeral home.

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

Shaye Harrison

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!

Response from owner

Thank you for sharing your experience and for recognizing Eugenia Jackson’s compassionate care. We are honored to have served your family during this difficult time and will share your praise with Eugenia and the team. Providing thoughtful, patient support to the families we serve is our highest priority, and your words mean a great deal to us.

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

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!

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.

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.

Sweet Sadie

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!

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 🙌🏽🙏🏽

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.

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.

So where do I start…from the very very beginning when Aikens received my dad from hospice, I knew we were in good hands! The driver prayed with me right in the room before departing with him and gave me some very comforting words. The rest of the process was just as peaceful and comforting as I worked with Alexis, Cynthia, Tom, and Deirdre to bring all the details together in such a short time of 5 days! Obituary, Death Certificate, Program, Memorial Video, Music, Flowers, Clothing, Limos, etc…a lot has to get done in short order and the team works diligently to make sure it does. The day of the funeral services, 10/15, was EVERYTHING for me! I got to see all the details we discussed and plan come together as close to flawless as you can get and all I had to do was show up and share a Reflection of my Dad. EVERYTHING was beautiful and done in excellence. Family and Friends all said the service was beautiful, uplifting/not sad and that our dad looked amazingly like himself. All wins! And their service doesn’t stop there. They have checked in on us after the services - still comforting still fostering healing! During a time of loss…this is the level of professionalism and service that you need in order to stay emotionally sane and heal. I am forever grateful for working with Cheryl and her team at Aikens. Thank you all again and stay blessed! ❤️

I appreciate the follow up with Aikens a couple of months after my Father's funeral. They called and texted checking up on me and my family. I have never heard of a funeral business who did that. I was touched to know that their service didn't end the day of the funeral. Thanks Aikens for all you do. May God continue to see your Business through.
