Burial at Sea in Oregon
Oregon’s coast is rugged and free — headlands, sea stacks, and working harbors from the Columbia’s mouth at Astoria to Coos Bay in the south. A farewell in the powerful North Pacific suits those who loved wild places.
Sea Services has arranged burials at sea and ash scatterings in Oregon since 1991. Every service is performed by U.S. Coast Guard–licensed captains in full compliance with EPA regulations, a minimum of three nautical miles from shore, aboard Coast Guard–approved vessels.
Our Oregon departure points:
Families who wish to be aboard can plan a private memorial charter from any of these ports — most last 1.5 to 2 hours dock to dock. If your family cannot attend, our Captain’s Service performs a dignified, fully documented unattended scattering, available year-round.
