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.<br><br>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.<br><br>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.<br><br>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.<br><br>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.<br><br>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.<br><br>Sincerely,<br>Ms. Bell

Extremely disappointed with the services provided by Aikens Funeral Home.<br>Despite arrangements being made, my great aunt's obituary was never placed in the Florida Sentinel, which caused distress to family members who relied on that notice.<br>Additionally, the family paid $750 for livestreaming, yet the livestream did not begin until halfway through the service, preventing many loved ones from viewing the service in real time.<br>We were also charged $1,200 for an escort service that was short-staffed, resulting in confusion and disorganization.<br>Overall, the experience was unprofessional and poorly coordinated, especially during a time when grieving families deserve care, attention, and accountability.

Response from owner

We are truly sorry to learn that your family felt disappointed with aspects of the service. During a time of loss, families deserve clarity, coordination, and compassionate care, and we regret that this was not your experience. Our firm operates under a strict No Hidden Cost Guarantee and a commitment to full transparency in all pricing and service arrangements. We take those standards very seriously, which is why concerns such as obituary submissions, livestream timing, and vendor coordination are reviewed carefully when brought to our attention. Because several of the items mentioned involve third-party providers and specific service selections, we would genuinely appreciate the opportunity to review the details directly with you to ensure accuracy and proper follow-up. Please contact our office and ask to speak with the general manager so that I may address your concerns thoroughly and respectfully. We are committed to accountability and to serving every family with professionalism and dignity. Respectfully, Tom Jones General Manager, Aikens Funeral Home

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.

Response from owner

Stephany, Thank you so much for your heartfelt review. We are truly honored that you entrusted us with celebrating the life of your beloved Grandmother. Planning a service for the first time can feel overwhelming, and it means a great deal to know that Joe was able to provide clear options and thoughtful guidance to make the process simpler and more comforting for you and your family. Our goal is always to create a service that is both beautiful and meaningful, whether through our chapel, clergy, musicians, or personalized keepsakes. Most importantly, we consider it a sacred responsibility to prepare each loved one with the utmost dignity and care. Your words about how peaceful and beautiful your Grandmother looked will be deeply appreciated by our care team, who approach their work with great reverence. Thank you again for allowing us to serve your family. We continue to hold you in our thoughts and remain here should you ever need us. With sincere gratitude, The Aikens Funeral Home Team

From the beginning until the end process of my mom services Bri was beyond exceptional. The other staff has been so kind and gentle with me as well. 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.

Response from owner

Thank you for your wonderful review, Gretchen. We're thrilled to hear that Bri and our staff provided exceptional service during such a difficult time. It means a lot to us to know that we were able to support you and your family in celebrating your mom's life. Your recommendation is greatly appreciated, and we strive to continue offering top-notch service. Thank you for choosing Aikens.

Aiken's Funeral Home exceeded our expectations and provided the most professional service in all areas. From the moment we walked into the facility we were met with exceptional customer service which continued beyond the Memorial Service. We were contacted after the service for a wellness check with an offer of assistance if needed. The Aikens brand exemplifies the highest standards of business excellence and is a model to be shared and practiced by all businesses. Melvin Stone and the entire Stone family.
