Rooted in friendship, called by purpose — together on a path of graceful transition.
Kindred Keepers of the Threshold
Two souls, one sacred calling — to transform how we hold space for death, and how we honor the beauty within it.
Krystal and Melissa’s journey began over 15 years ago as Care Assistants at Children’s Mercy Hospital in Kansas City, where their shared compassion and presence at life’s fragile beginnings laid the foundation for a profound bond.
Over time, their paths deepened — intertwining friendship, intuitive calling, and a sacred reverence for life’s final passages. What emerged was a shared vision: to reimagine deathcare as a sacred, intentional, and transformative experience.
As co-founders of Carousel of Life, Krystal and Melissa bring together clinical wisdom, spiritual insight, and ceremonial grace. They serve as stewards of the threshold — holding space for grief, healing, and remembrance with heart-led precision and soul-deep care.
Together, they honor the alchemy of endings and beginnings, walking alongside individuals and families with tenderness, truth, and presence.
The meaning of life is to find your gift. The purpose of life is to give it away.
