Odette and her family were so helpful and understanding it was a pleasure to work with them. The Order of Service that Sara created (including a montage of photographs) was outstanding and very good value for only £2 per copy. I would definitely recommend their services.

Odette and her staff were very supportive and the arrangements were handled very sensitively. We couldn’t have asked for more.

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.

    I cannot praise Odette and her team highly enough. To face organising the funeral for my son was always going to be a difficult task. Odette listened to our plans and our concerns and gently aided us through the whole process. Even when our requests were not necessarily conventional, Odette was able and prepared to facilitate them. The greatest kindness to us and respect for my son was shown at all times. A very professional, compassionate and respectful service was provided throughout.

  • 5 Sue Wallis 28th Feb 2023

    Odette and her family business could not have been better. My mum wanted to plan her own funeral after a terminal diagnosis. Probably not very often a funeral director meets their client whilst still living, Odette was wonderful, professional, kind and we had a laugh too when planning. ( very important). Mum knew what she wanted, and along with her and my siblings Odette made it happen. From the bespoke poppy coffin, to the music , to the photo tribute it was all as perfect as it could be for Mum, she would have loved it Thank you Odette.
