Odette and her family took great care of my husband's funeral, giving valuable advice and guidance throughout. Perfect organisation for and at the crematorium, and with design and print of the order of service for our later celebration of life service. Would certainly recommend.

Linda Borthwick 13th Mar 2026

When my darling husband Rodger died Odette, Sarah and Tom were so caring and guided me and my children through whole process. They were so kind. I would highly recommend them. They are truly wonderful.

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 Lisa Hibberd 20th Jan 2026

    I cannot fault the service that Odettes has given. From start to finish, Odette and her two children gave my brother the best send off. Very professional and very caring. After having a terrible experience with a different funeral director, when my dad died 2023, I was very wary this time but Odette made me feel at ease and kept reassuring me, that it would all be OK..... and it certainly was.
    If you want care , understanding, and a dignified funeral for a loved one, please please PLEASE , don't go to a chain.
    Use this lovely family run business.

    Professional and thoughtful. Would recommend.

  • 5 James Ross 13th Dec 2025

    Tom and Sarah handled our earlier enquiries in a calm, friendly and professional manner and were extremely patient and thoughtful in subsequent meetings. When we were ready to engage their services and we met more of the team including Odette, they all proved to be as friendly, thoughtful and considerate of our needs and wishes and were extremely helpful in putting us in contact with further service providers then collaborating with them while keeping us informed to alleviate any potential stress.
    From the initial engagement through the preparation, service delivery and post event administration, all involved were considerate of our needs, flexible to our wishes and ever helpful. In all they were able to take care of an extremely sad and emotional event in our lives with smooth precision and bring things to a memorable conclusion in a thoughtful and heartfelt manner. If I need their services again, I'd have no hesitation to re-engage with them.

  • 5 Mary Duncan 12th Dec 2025
