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.

    We cannot thank everyone at Odette Funeral Director - Odette, Sara and Tom enough. They made such a sad and difficult time manageable and bearable. The service they provided was hugely professional - they shared empathy and compassion and also helped us to smile too! At an emotional and somewhat confusing time we were so very grateful to know that someone would answer our questions promptly and guide us with expertise. We will be forever grateful for all they did to ensure Dad's final journey was everything he deserved - thank you.

    We can't thank Odette, Tom and Sara enough for their patience, calmness, kindness and sensitivity at what was a very difficult time for us.

    We were guided but never felt rushed and everything was done professionally but calmly.

    Sue Randall was wonderful with the eulogy also.

    All in all would thoroughly recommend and wouldn't hesitate to use again.

  • 5 James Harpham 11th Mar 2024

    Wonderful, constructive without being "gushie" - and the recommended celebrant, Jane Sims, was beyond being just efficient, which she was in spades, and was also immensely inspirational and charming with it. Accordingly, thank you very much indeed.

  • 5 Cherie Bastin 10th Mar 2024

    We initially met with Sara, she was informative and warm with how she spoke to us. They gave lots of help and advice with planning mums funeral. Every question and request was met and answered by the team. Tom helped us use a family made slide show and recording of a reading. On the day they were familiar face and so respectful to what we wanted. I cannot thank Odette, Sara and Tom enough for making this experience of planning mums funeral an easy one and taking as much stress out of it as possible. I would highly recommend 

  • 5 Polly Smith 9th Mar 2024

    Odette and her family and team are so kind and professional. They will go above and beyond to give your loved one the Funeral they would want. Highly recommend.

  • 5 Hilary Worsnop 8th Mar 2024

    From start to finish Odette Funeral Director took care of everything. They were very kind and caring and kept us informed. On the day of the funeral, the staff were all smartly dressed and helpful. Odette, herself, paid tribute to Peter by wearing Triumph cufflinks and Sara personalised the order of service with a bonneville motorbike scene. We can't thank them enough for all their hard work and what they did for us. Will definitely recommend them.
