He died in March of 1904 and buried in Burley Cemetery after the "procession wound its way up the hill to our beautiful cemetery, where a few final words were spoken and the remains tenderly consigned to their last resting place under 'the murmuring pines and the hemlocks' which Brother Copeland loved so much".
