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.

Kevin Anderson 30th Sep 2023

Very professionally dealt with and also genuine empathy.

Jean Collins 30th Sep 2023

Odettes’ staff clearly follow her example, everyone who attended commented that both she and Sue Randall, the Civil Celebrant were excellent & all was undertaken with dignity & compassion. Many thanks to you all

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.

    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.

    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.
