A light in the darkest time. From the moment I spoke to Odette, it was 'meant to be'. Sara, Tom, and Odette helped me so much, they were very friendly and treated me like they al ... ready knew me personally. Nothing was too much trouble for them, guidance and information, very clear and relevant to me. In the sad event you ever need someone, I cannot recommend this family run business enough. Thank you guys xxx 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.

    A light in the darkest time. From the moment I spoke to Odette, it was 'meant to be'.

Nothing was too much trouble for them, guidance and information, very clear and relevant to me. In the sad event you ever need someone, I cannot recommend this family run business enough.

    Odette and her team are brilliant. Fantastic attention to detail

  • 5 Kevin Long 1st Jun 2025

    It feels a bit clinical leaving a review for a funeral director, however; given the sudden and unexpected loss of our beloved daughter at the age of 16, we could not be more grateful for the gracious way in which all the formalities were handled.

    We are truly thankful to Odettes for the service and all the other stuff that went on in the background, as well as the celebrant, Sharyn, for her thoughtful approach.

  • 5 Alan Simmons 23rd May 2025

    Odette and Sara were fantastic. They came highly recommended, and nothing was too much trouble. In all the stress and anxiety beforehand they were able to guide me through the process and give me confidence that everything was in hand. I would have no hesitation in recommending them.

  • 5 David O'Daly 6th May 2025

  • 5 Paul Penfold 5th Apr 2025

    My sincerest thanks to Odette and team for their compassionate, friendly, caring and efficient service in honour of my beautiful wife Julie.
    Above all a very human approach in a time of great sadness for me.
    Odette are able to provide a local service with the focus and local knowledge required.
    Aside from this the smaller details such as sifting through nearly 3000 photos for the order of service supported me and mean't so much. They really nailed it.
    I have no hesitation in recommending Odette.

    I am so pleased that Odette was recommended to me.

On the day, they pulled out all of the stops coming across as a very professional, caring, family business which is exactly what is needed at a time like this.
