At Unitarian Church, Northborough, Worcester County, Massachusetts, Waldo Barrett Maynard and Charles Edward Warren were buried in a Double Funeral.
Their bodies were brought home at the expense of the town and buried on the same day from the Unitarian Church. It was an impressive service and made a deep impression on those who witnessed it.
These boys were schoolmates; their fathers before them were schoolmates; they enlisted at the same time, were wounded in the same battle, died only one week apart, their bodies were brought home together and were buried on the same day.
On 17 Sep 1870, at Northborough, Worcester County, Massachusetts, Charles was inscribed on the town Civil War monument.

He bore up with great fortitude; d. Oct. 2, 1862; buried in his home in Northboro."
