Great River Natural Burial: Officially Licensed Endowment Care Cemetery in Oregon

We are delighted to announce that Great River Natural Burial has officially been licensed by the Oregon Mortuary and Cemetery Board as an endowment care cemetery! This milestone marks the culmination of an incredible journey that began in the fall of 2018.

We are now a state-dedicated, natural burial, endowment care cemetery that will remain an undeveloped wildlife habitat in perpetuity, with its care funded by its irreducible and irrevocable endowment care fund.

Over the past years, we have navigated numerous county and state requirements, faced the challenge of wildfire, and dedicated ourselves to extensive restoration work. Throughout this journey, the support of our caring community has been our greatest asset.

We extend our heartfelt gratitude to everyone who believed in our vision and contributed to making Great River Natural Burial a reality. Your support has been invaluable, and we look forward to continuing this journey together, providing a natural and peaceful resting place and solace for those who grieve.

Thank you for being part of our community of support, and for those who wish to make natural burial their final act of environmental kindness.
