I’M ENID DUFRESNE-DARIO
With a steady, compassionate approach, I support individuals and families through some of life’s most tender transitions. The ceremonies I lead—and the support I offer—are grounded in spiritual connection, deep listening, and a heartfelt respect for human dignity. Every ceremony is shaped by the unique life we’re honouring, and by the people who loved them.
I come to listen. I take time to learn about the person at the centre of the ceremony—their values, their story, their spirit—and work closely with loved ones to create something meaningful, honest, and deeply personal. I also offer gentle grief support for those navigating the quieter, ongoing journey of loss.
This work is close to my heart. I’ve had the honour of officiating ceremonies for over 15 years, and I continue to be humbled by the trust people place in me during such intimate and important moments.
I am available for officiating and grief support in Edmonton, Alberta and surrounding areas.
“Enid was just brilliant on the day we celebrated our uncle. She truly cared about all of us there. I felt my uncle had the best service possible as we all celebrated his life as he was an exceptional man. Enid’s compassion and caring really shines through.”

FUNERAL & MEMORIAL CEREMONIES
A funeral or memorial is not just a goodbye—it’s a celebration of a life’s impact, a weaving of stories, a chance to gather around shared love and loss. Together, we’ll create a ceremony that is fully aligned with your loved one’s spirit, values, and presence in the world.
I offer:
Personalized memorial or funeral ceremonies
Celebration of life gatherings
Graveside or ash-scattering ceremonies
Ceremonies can be quiet and reflective or joyful and story-filled—always centered around the individual’s life and the people who love them.
GRIEF SUPPORT
Grief is an experience to be witnessed, carried, and honoured. I offer gentle, one-on-one grief support for those navigating loss in its many forms—offering presence, space, and time.
Support may include:
One-on-one grief companioning
Reflective conversations and grounding practices
Guidance to additional care resources
Whether your loss is recent or long-held, you're welcome here.
