 The last keeper was Oswald Allik, who would later become the last head keeper of Heceta Head Light.Within two years, the lighthouse was sold to a group of investors from Nevada, who sold it in 1980 to a group of realtors, who created the Eternity at Sea Columbarium, which opened in June of that year.After interring about 30 urns, the columbarium's license was revoked in 1999 by the Oregon Mortuary and Cemetery Board and was rejected upon reapplication in 2005.
