About Us

Odette Funeral Director is an independent funeral service in Calne, Wiltshire. Odette first started out working for another well known funeral director but when that was sold to a big corporate in 2014, Odette decided to venture out on her own, to offer a personal, respectful service to Calne and the surrounding community.

Odette has a wealth of experience and knowledge having been in funeral service for over 20 years. She passed the Diploma in Funeral Directing in 2007, and has previously worked as a Pathology Technician, giving her a fantastic understanding of the coroner system in Wiltshire.

Odette Funeral Director is a true family business. Odette’s daughter, Sara, is a Funeral Arranger and deals with all administration. Sara has been in the family business since 2016 and she has two children herself. Odette‘s son Tom started in the family business once he left school in 2017, and helps with administration and with all other aspects of organizing a funeral. Tom is looking forward to the future and is starting his training to be a Funeral Conductor.

Odette Funeral Director is very proud of the standard of service they provide to the people of Calne, offering advice and guidance on what would be a fitting and lasting tribute to a loved one, whether that be a new headstone or cremation tablet, a refurbishment of a stone or if you just require a further inscription.

Odette Funeral Director’s funeral home in Calne provides a 24 hours a day 7 days a week service. The modern funeral home can be used to arrange every aspect of the funeral, or you can arrange for home visits.

Call Odette Funeral Director now to find out more about the services they provide and begin making funeral arrangements for your loved one.

  • 5 Simon Allison 25th Nov 2023

    Very helpful and sensitive to our requirements.

  • 5 Donna Grant 23rd Nov 2023

    Absolutely fantastic, Odette made everything so much easier for us.

  • 5 Mary Weston 17th Nov 2023

    From the moment we stepped into their office, we knew we were in safe caring hands; they dealt with us with such kindness and a little gentle humour which brought light relief. From Odette herself, who has a warm, empathetic presence, to Tom and Sara, the whole family were consummately professional, but helpful and patient with our various calls and questions. We had a private cremation and Odette was a calming but unobtrusive presence and allowed us to have our final goodbyes with dignity.

  • 5 Marcia Griffiths 14th Nov 2023

    My family were extremely pleased with the arrangements for my dad's funeral organised by Odette Funeral Directors. We wanted something simple but respectful, they guided us through the options not "pushing" us into anything and we were able to make any amendments to our choices up to a few days before the service. As a family run business, we felt well looked after and the process intimately handled.

  • 5 Diane Webb 7th Nov 2023

    Lovely people. Professional, caring. Always helpful at a very difficult time for the family. Was able to just leave it all to them.

  • 5 Pat Clarke 5th Nov 2023

    Everything at a very sad and stressful time was made easy and understandable.

    And the funeral was done with the greatest of respect.

    Sue Randall made a wonderful job of the eulogy.

    Our thanks to all involved.

  • 5 Peter Marsden 4th Nov 2023

    The family firm could not be kinder or more friendly .
    I would recommend them to anyone.

  • 5 Ines Woodhouse 30th Oct 2023

    From the very start the support, compassion and sensitivity at the time of great loss to our family has been second to none. The services provided on the funeral day were excellent, all went off to plan and rather than being in the forefront of everything, Odette and team were almost invisible, just efficiently and compassionately making sure all went well and as planned. We felt like we were family and treated as such. We would highly recommend Odette as a funeral Director to anyone who wants a service that cares, is supportive and above all compassionate in everything they do.

  • 5 Vicky Fry 24th Oct 2023

    Odette, Tom and Sara were amazing, they were very helpful and nothing was too much bother. I would definitely recommend them.

  • 5 Lorraine Mckenzie 13th Oct 2023

    The service from Odette and the team were impeccable, with respect for our loved one and our family. 

  • 5 Richard Selby-Boothroyd 1st Oct 2023

    I had not seen Odette for a few years but naturally turned to her for a family funeral. Standards of conduct of the whole process were excellent, just as I had remembered. And everything was kept simple, just as I had hoped. Holders of Defence Discount Card or Blue Light Card should certainly take advantage of special attention from Odette.

  • 5 Kevin Anderson 30th Sep 2023

    Very professionally dealt with and also genuine empathy.

    Thank you to Odette, Tom and Sara for helping Keith and myself say goodbye to our mum in the way that we wanted to. We appreciated your assistance all along the way and we thought that the service was beautiful and dignified. Sue was also very helpful and we were very grateful for her assistance in getting our emotionally muddled words in the right order for announcement. It has been an absolute pleasure to meet you all. Our mum was a very special lady and you did her proud. Thank you.
