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.

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.

Aiken’s funeral home did an excellent job handling the service for my mother’s home going ceremony. All of the staff were amazing with their acts of kindness and patience. They made everything so special and beautiful at the funeral home and the church as well. The limousines were luxurious, prompt and very clean inside and outside.

I hear so many phenomenal stories about this funeral home but I received news from a relative that the professionalism wasn't so professional the service for the matriarch of my extended family.. we know it's a business, but let's keep in mind losing a loved one is the most difficult time and my cousins didn't feel the love and warmth she deserved while preparing to lay her mom to rest...

Veronica, Dierdra, and the rest of the staff really made this process easy on me. Their attention to detail and ability to be empathetic and sympathetic throughout so many steps really stood out and made a difference. Also the decor and energy of the place really made me feel like I was in a safe and professional environment. Im happy this was the place that took care of my loved one. I definitely recommend to any one looking for a place with integrity and high standards for their loved ones who have passed on.

Thank you to Aikens Funeral Home for their support during this time of stress for my family. Experiencing the loss of a loved one who was cherished and honored not only through family, friends, her beloved City of Tampa, Florida brought continued awareness to the many ways a single act can make a huge impact on others. Aikens provided consistent direction and acts of comfort during and after by providing resource materials after our business relationship ended. Nothing is ever perfect but this experience shall always be remembered.

Aikens Funeral Home, handled every aspect of my late uncle’s funeral services from start to finish. From custom announcements to burial. My family was so pleased that we have been telling anyone that will listen. They truly have been a blessing to us. The owner Mrs. LaCheryl was never to busy to speak with me. She was always available. I just wanted to say thank you from the bottom of my heart!

I am a cousin of the late Robert L. Cole, Sr. The professional service from the staff was outstanding and remarkable. From the moment the staff came into the b&b and I stepped into the limousine and exited to my lodging in Tampa, it left an impressionable mark on me. I am 71 years old and what I witnessed reminded me of how things used to be! Quiet, calming, honoring the deceased etc. Please continue operating your establishment in this manner. I am so glad my family entrusted your services for honoring a father, grand father, great great grand, brother, uncle and cousin, the late Robert L. Cole, Sr. Rachel Naomi Dowling, McDaniel Charleston SC Staff Members: Ms. Powell Mr. Monroe(Drivers) Ms. Lulu, (Escort)

Nathan Westbrooks
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
Veda Edwards
Worst funeral home on the planet! Don't let them near your deceased loved ones!! Liars, incompetent, deceitful and disrespectful staff and substandard service! I have no respect for Cheryl, her staff and the owner. Our immediate family unanimously decided not to use their funeral home in Tampa to handle the services of our terminally ill loved one. They totally devastated our family members and they are still upset to this day by the way Cheryl and her staff handled our deceased loved one's funeral service that occurred 2 years ago. Never again. She made no attempt to resolve the complaint we made, nor did she bother to contact myself nor my aunt to resolve the issue, she unprofessionally contacted an outside party that had nothing to do with our complaint. Shady! Never pay them up front to handle you loved ones either. Video tape and record every contact you have with Cheryl and her staff!
