Caroline, a Florida native, was born and raised in Miami, Fl until the early 2000’s when her family relocated to the St. Petersburg / Tampa Bay area. Being an adopted, she grew up an only child, but later found out she is the youngest of five siblings. She graduated from St. Petersburg Catholic High School in 2008 and went straight to work in the insurance industry for the better part of a decade.
She likes to spend time with her four dogs and two cats, hiking, road tripping, spending time with family, watching the Gators and Bucs play football, as well as the Lightning play hockey.
Although Caroline was in the insurance industry for a decade, she felt she was called to do something more. She did not truly realize what that was until her oldest sister passed away, it was at this point in her life, she realized she loved being able to help her family in whatever way necessary through the grieving process.
Caroline joined the Crevasse team in 2020, where she could connect with and serve the families that choose Crevasse’s.

Conner Brace was born and raised in Murrieta, California and is very proud to be a SoCal native. Coming from a Marine Corps family and Blue Collar roots, he learned from a very young age what it means to work hard, and the importance of developing a strong work ethic. Through trial and error during his formative years into his early 20's, he has worked hard to become the man he is today. Conner spent years working many different jobs from delivering pizza, to catching hot air balloons, to event production, to running heavy equipment in rock quarries, but never truly found his calling in life until he was introduced by his wife and mother-in-law, to the Crevasse's family in 2024. Today, Conner is proud to serve all of Florida, and families beyond, as the Crematory Operator here in Gainesville where he now happily calls home. Conner is ambitious, persistent, and wants to make a difference in people's lives.
When he is not at work, Conner loves to spend time at home with his wife and 3 dogs, and catching up with family and friends. Conner is a metal musician and has been involved in the music industry since he was 14 years old, he loves sports and enjoys watching Football and Baseball, and loves to travel and see the world as well.

Having the dream of becoming a mortician from the age of 10, Lindsay knew this career path was destined for her long before adulthood. Lindsay relocated from central Florida to northeast Florida to attend mortuary school in 2014 where she later earned a degree in Funeral Services from Florida State College at Jacksonville. Soon after college, Lindsay gratefully obtained her credentials as a Licensed Funeral Director and Embalmer. She served families of Clay County, Florida and surrounding areas for a number of years, taking great interest in cremation, desairology, and embalming practices most of all.
Lindsay has been honored to join the team at Crevasse’s Simple Cremation since 2022, where her most important promise to families is to treat each loved one in her care with the utmost dignity, reverence, professionalism, and compassion.

Coming from a small town, Michelle understands what it is to treat everyone like family. She has been interested in the death care industry from a young age, but first explored many other professional avenues that sharpened her natural gift of taking care of those in need including 16 years in customer care and management and 10 years as a stylist for the differently abled and memory care.
As a 2019 graduate of the Funeral Services program at Florida State College at Jacksonville, Michelle was able to finally find her foothold in her life’s purpose: caring for grieving families in what is their most difficult time. Realizing that families make cremation arrangements for their loved ones during the worst moments of their lives, Michelle has made her mission to guide every one of them through these moments with compassion and respect. She cares for each family as if they are her own.
In the industry since 2020, Michelle was honored to join the Crevasse’s Simple Cremation team in 2023. Guiding and assisting families through the death and grief process with care is her driving force.
