After Potter's death, there was a private service for friends and family in Cooperstown during which all the businesses were closed.
The men of the village marched behind the coffin to the train station from which Potter would be sent to New York City for a later public service.
Potter's body lay in state in Trinity Church, New York City until the public funeral at Grace Church on October 20, 1908, the twenty-fifth anniversary of Potter's consecration.
Potter's body was interred in the crypt of his Cathedral: the first interment in the cathedral.
It was later moved to the cathedral's Chapel of St. James, which had been funded by Mrs. Potter.

On October 31, 1908, The Outlook carried the story of Potter's funeral in Grace Church.
There were "more than five hundred" clergy in the procession, including eighteen bishops.
The pall bearers were leading citizens of New York. "
The church was crowded with a great congregation representing all the best elements of municipal life."
The diversity of people who attended the funeral showed that Potter was "not only an ecclesiastic of great position and influence, but a great citizen, identified with many organizations dealing with the higher life of the city."
Many religious leaders attended the funeral: Jewish, Presbyterian, Baptist, Methodist, Russian Orthodox, and the Persian, Greek, and Armenian Churches.
