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.

    Our experience with Odette funeral service was calm easy and respectful. Even fun at appropriate times. They were flexible, so we were able to tailor the service to reflect the life of a true individual.
    Lucy Till celebrant was also a joy to work with. She captured the key points of the life of my Aunt and conducted the service with great compassion and respect.
    This sentiment was expressed by all in attendance, and those looking in online.
    Thank you.

  • 5 Frances McGuigan 4th Jun 2022

    A beautiful funeral service.
    Given that it was a very low key affair - as my mum would have wanted - in my view, it could not have been better had it been a state funeral.
    It was tastefully done and all our requests were carried out to the letter.
    What struck me most was the absolute reverence of the coffin bearers. It was so lovely to see.
    I highly recommend this family run funeral service of Calne.
    Which I believe showed complete empathy and professionalism from beginning to end.

    Odette and her team were perfect in every way, my father's wishes were carried out professionally and efficiently but most of all with the up most compassion. We asked Odette to do a reading for us and she selected an excellent piece of music for the ceremony. All the help and assistance from Odette was greatly appreciated and made a difficult time that bit easier, thank you Odette.
