Malvys Martinez

Aikens Funeral Home was amazing with their service. At the time of so much sorrow and grief, the staff at Aikens was very supportive, patient, and understandable with our family. Bryt was great! Very supportive, and compassionate. Thank you for taking care of my family in one of the most difficult times. We will for ever be greatful.

Shantrell Black

The Aikens funeral home is absolutely the best. They were patient and kind with the plethora of questions I had for them. Joseph, Dana, and of course Imani thank you so very much may God continue to bless you all> This is a ministry for people who are facing one of the most devastating times in life. If you are searching for people who care come to Aikens , and let the LOVE OF GOD SURROUND YOU LIKE A SHEILD.

I would recommended them over and over again, they made this such an easy process to go through even though it was such a tragedy to me and my family to lose a baby. They made the cremation process seamless and the viewing for my beautiful princess was so heartfelt and touching. They made me feel like family and I’ll forever be grateful to have had that experience to send her home to be with God.

I was very disappointed with the service I received from this funeral home during an already difficult and emotional time for my family.<br><br>Unfortunately, the funeral home did not keep the promises that were made to us, and there was a serious lack of communication among the staff. We often received conflicting information, which added unnecessary stress and frustration during the funeral arrangements.<br><br>The customer service was poor, and I did not feel that our needs and concerns were treated with the care and attention they deserved. Most concerning was the lack of compassion demonstrated by the funeral director. At a time when families are grieving and need understanding, patience, and sensitivity, I found the director to be insensitive to our needs and the circumstances we were facing.<br><br>Overall, I was not satisfied with the service provided. Families entrust funeral homes with one of the most difficult moments of their lives, and they deserve professionalism, compassion, clear communication, and follow-through. Unfortunately, that was not our experience.

Renita Williams

Aikens buried my father in May 2025, from start to finish during a difficult time it was hands down the best experience. I received extra help from Eugenia Jackson and Hollis Snead. They service was extra special to me in this process. I would recommend anyone to Aikens

Denise Johnson

Friendly people ! Would recommend this place

Shantell Dyer

I cannot thank Ms. Eugenia enough for everything she did for my family during one of the hardest times of my life. Having never planned funeral arrangements before, I had no idea where to start, but from day one she walked me through the entire process with so much patience, compassion, and professionalism.<br><br>I had countless questions and concerns, and no matter how many times I asked, Ms. Eugenia always took the time to provide clear answers and made sure I felt comfortable every step of the way. Most importantly, she made sure my son’s homegoing arrangements were exactly how I envisioned them, and for that I will be forever grateful.<br><br>Thank you, Ms. Eugenia, for your kindness, dedication, and for making such a difficult process a little easier for my family. You truly went above and beyond, and I appreciate you more than words can express.

Ryanne Johnson

Our family received exceptional service during one of the most difficult times in our lives. Bryt and Eugenia were professional, compassionate, and attentive to every detail. They guided us through the entire process with care, patience, and genuine concern for our family, making everything as smooth as possible.<br><br>We would also like to recognize Dana, who was incredibly compassionate and helpful over the phone. She took the time to answer our questions, provide reassurance, and ensure we felt supported every step of the way.<br><br>The kindness, professionalism, and dedication shown by the entire team made a lasting impression on our family.

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.

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.

I really appreciate Eugenia and Christina at Aiken funeral home.

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!

Leslie Roberts

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.

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.<br>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.

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.

Carol Ader

I wanted to sincerely thank the owner and the staff for their kindness and compassion for funeral services for my mother. My brother and I thought my mother had life insurance. I discovered my mother's policy had expired and didn't have enough to cover the cost of the funeral services. Aikens allowed for us to have my mother's services on a Saturday and pay them the following week. They are very professional and compassionate people.

Losing a loved one is never easy, but Mrs. LaCheryl Aikens-Guzman and the staff at the Aikens Funeral Home made this experience effortless.

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!

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!

Aikens Funeral Home is the only Funeral service that my family has used for as long as I can remember and for good reason.

Thank you for assisting me in all areas of need for my husband’s service and making sure that I was okay afterwards.

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.

Betty Aikens

During the most challenging time of our lives, LaCheryl and her team helped ease the moment by providing excellence service. She was patient, sensitive, kind, and very respectful of our wishes.

She went up and beyond for our family and Iam truly grateful.

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.

The staff at Atkins Funeral Home had a lot of compassion, and sympathy and showed a tremendous amount of care to us and our loved one who passed away. The were very patient and kind to me when I called with many questions.

CJ J

I would recommend their services to anyone in need. Not only their prices are very reasonable, but the accommodations and most of all the people who work and manage this funeral home were all amazing, caring and understanding in such a difficult time for anyone. All questions were patiently answered, and they went above and beyond to help us transfer our loved one out of country. Services were provided even when we hadn't asked for, accommodations and chapels are beutiful. But most importantly they treated us with compassion in the moments we needed it the most. Highly recommended.

My father passed away on April 24, 2023 and although we expected it, you never can prepare your heart for what's to come. 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.

Large chapel, very friendly staff.

Kenisha Faison

On behalf of all of my family, we cant express how much aikens means to us. From the very beginning Ms. Cheryl was compassionate and caring throughout the entire process of my father, Kenneth S. Faison’s homegoing celebration. The entire staff embraced us as family and comforted us in our time of grief. Ms. Sharon Thomas was extraordinary in caring for us and treated us as if she’d always been family. Thank you everyone for the beautiful service and care they provided to not only for my dad, but for all of us.

Richard Morales

What I’ve learned is that in the most difficult times, the person or people that you’ve never met before will be the ones that help you the most. That was a lesson that I learned by just picking up the phone and Mrs.Cheryl was on the other line. Mrs.Cheryl is the owner of Aikens Funeral Home located in Tampa Florida. My father, William F Morales passed away. It had been years since I’ve seen or heard of my father. My father was living in Tampa. Unfortunately, my father passed. I am not from Tampa Florida. So going through this process was very difficult because I had no family to turn to. But the night that I made the phone call to Mrs.Cheryl I felt a sense of ease and peace. When I made arrangements I met Mr. Jones who is absolutely fantastic walking me through the process and making the arrangements for my father absolutely with Respect and with Grace. I pray that I never have to go through this again, but in life, there are no guarantees. Except the people from Mrs.Cheryl to Mr.Jones and the Aikens Funeral Home Family will be there for you in the most difficult time that anyone has to go through. I am truly blessed and fortunate to have made that phone call to the Aikens Funeral Home. I truly appreciate all you have done for me and my Family. God Bless.

Angela Bowden

Aikens funeral home is a Godsend. The attention to detail, the professionalism and the genuine compassion shown to me and my entire family made the task of burying our loved one stress free. There was no toil and no pressure AT ALL,in Working with Sheryl and her entire staff. They took care of my WHOLE family. Expectations were exceeded. A week after the homegoing for my dad…their “after care team” called to check on us and to see if there was anything more they could do for us….yes!!! They have an aftercare team! Aikens Funeral Home, operates in the spirit of EXCELLENCE.

J C

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.

chanda bacon

My experience at Aikens Funeral Home was very pleasant. The entire staff is so caring and compassionate. The atmosphere is pleasant, and every one is right there to help you every step of the way. Just to name a few, La Cheryl was always there, and took her time in helping me with the arrangements, she is very easy to talk to, and very understanding, and her staff under her are the same. Hylarie so sweet and very helpful, losing a family member is not easy to process , but Hylarie made it so easy for me. I wanted to make changes on the program, and she made it so easy for me. She is so very understanding. I really appreciate it. Deirdre made sure that after everything was done, could they be any further with assistance. Making sure that I was okay and processing it day by day with phone calls and texts. All done with a very pleasant voice. Tom a very caring person, and he did not miss a beat, making sure that everything is done decently and in order. I remember he told me whatever I needed done he will make it happen, and it was done. Joe very quiet and pleasant person, I would say that he has a quiet spirit. So caring and understanding, you can count on him to assist you. The overall staff is amazing, so professional at what they do, very professional in their dress code. I was well pleased.

Shamika Brown-Upshaw

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! ❤️

Mary Banks

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

Chjame Jones

My family and I would like to extend our sincere thanks to LaCheryl and the Aikens staff. From the very start, we were supported through this difficult process with patience.

On behalf of our entire family, we thank LaCheryl and everyone at Aikens Funeral Home for their caring and professional etiquette in handling the services and burial for our mother.

agnita brown

Four years ago when my daughter passed away I was blessed to use the services of Aikens Funeral home my husband and I were so pleased with the care and support that we decided we would preplan and use Aikens for ourselves.

This was definitely an excellent choice. Ms Aikens-Guzman and her staff made sure every necessary process was handled and showed empathy and kindness during and after the service. Everything was beautiful. I would highly recommend them.

Marie Brister

The staff at Aikens Funeral Home was extremely compassionate and professional. They made the process of planning for my father’s services so much easier and they stood with me and my family every step of the way. They honored him for his military service and he had the first class presentation he deserved. My father’s body was shipped to our hometown of Chicago, Illinois where he was laid to rest. Aikens did a wonderful job with his preservation and made sure that he arrived dressed just as we requested. We will be forever grateful for their superior service!

Jeffrie Miller

I have been acquainted with Aikens funeral home for a number of years, being a part of the Ballard/Miller family we have entrusted several family members to the care of Aikens. My in-laws Jack & Fannie Miller, brother in-law Jack Miller, My Mother Minnie Ballard, brother Carl "Hawk" Ballard and most recent February 2020 my Uncle Joe Ballard who was a military veteran. The staff was awesome! Handled everything with the VA (which was overwhelming), kept me informed, was always accommodating of my frequent changes. Their wealth of experience took care of the smallest of details, which I had overlooked. We will continue to use them in the future for our family needs as they arise.

Amelia Kangal

Our family used Aikens Funeral Home for the burial of our loved one, the staff at Aikens worked very had to help us through this difficult time, they walked us through the process step by step and explained to us all the different services they provided.

In a time of mourning Cheryl did an excellent job handling my grandmothers arrangements. Very timely/prompt service and communicated with us throughout the entire process. These situations are never easy but I was at least comfortable knowing that my grandmother was in good hands.
