Thank you Odette, everything went exactly as planned and you were a big support from beginning to end. Not impressed with the local vicars at all but that was not your fault, Sue was excellent in their stead, thank you for arranging for her to take the service.

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 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.
