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.

    I can't thank Odette, her family and team for her amazing way she dealt with my Dad's funeral. From the first contact through the funeral and beyond they have been so supportive and kind to myself and Mum whilst we had to go through this horrible time. Little 'tweaks' were made to make everything personal and nothing was too much trouble.

    We used Odette for both my Mum and Dad's funerals and could not fault them. Everything was managed with sensitivity and dignity from the initial call to the day of the funeral and beyond. Would recommend to anyone.

  • 5 Philip Notley 6th Mar 2021

    We were so pleased that we went with Odette Funeral Service to arrange our mothers funeral. I wholeheartedly recommend their services.
    From the first call to Odette's when we were informed that mother was deteriorating to the day of the funeral the team at Odette Funeral Services have been professional, supportive , approachable and friendly.
    The funeral was just what we wanted. They put us in touch with a civil celebrant who guided us through the arrangements and officiated on the day.
    The passing of a loved one is very distressing but having Odette at our side was reassuring and meant that the period was less stressful as it could have been.

  • 5 Graham Zebedee 1st Mar 2021

    Nothing was too much trouble and the funeral was carried out in a very professional manner. Many thanks.

  • 5 Ceri Bevan 9th Feb 2021

    From the outset, we received exceptional service from Odette. We felt very safe and comfortable with the arrangements and advice given. I felt everything was handled with dignity, professionalism and warmth.

    On the day of the service, Odette walked in front of the cortege to the main road which enabled neighbours and friends to pay their respects which was very touching in the current restrictions.

    Thank you Odette and the team for the support given during this sad and difficult time.

    From start to finish everything was handled beautifully, it was a real benefit having taken out a funeral plan with Odette, saved having to deal with decisions at such a difficult time. This is a family firm which made it so much nicer. A big thank you too to Sue Randall the Civil Celebrant who prepared and delivered such a beautiful service.

  • 5 Olga Zolocukhina 10th Jan 2021

    At the time, when we all were in deep shock and sadness, my husband's death was so sudden and unexpected, we really needed someone to guide us through.
    Thanks to my dear friend, we turned to Odette Funeral Director. They have a lovely family team and helped us navigate through the preparation process with great understanding and reassurance.
    There were lots of details to take care of and Odette and her team were there for us all the way through, with so many useful suggestions and delivered their support during this process with great sensitivity. They made us feel welcomed every single time we have been there.
    With our special thanks to Sara, who with her lovely smile always made the atmosphere much lighter and somehow took off the heavy feelings from my chest. Sara was always first to remind me, if I ever forgot something, or missed the timing on things that needed to be done. She was sincere and natural.
    We have received a lovely, very respectful and personal Service for my Darling husband. The whole experience with Odette from start to the end was a good journey. I cannot recommend enough Odett Funeral Director and there are not enough words to express our heartfelt Thanks and gratitude to everyone who was involved.
