An amnesty was declared so that pirates and privateers could pay their respects without fear of arrest. He was buried at [[Palisadoes]] cemetery, Port Royal, followed by a 22-gun salute from the ships moored in the harbour.{{sfn|Pope|1978|p=347}}{{sfn|Latimer|2009|p=260}} Morgan was a wealthy man when he died. His personal wealth was valued at £5,263.{{sfn|Zahedieh|2004a}}

His will initially left his plantations and slaves to his wife, Mary Elizabeth, but because they were childless, on her death his estate was to pass to his nephews, the children of his brother-in-law Byndloss. The burial of Lady Morgan was recorded in [[Saint Andrew Parish, Jamaica]], on 3 March 1696.{{sfn|"Sir Henry Morgan". ''Legacies of British Slavery database''}}{{sfn|Tortello|2002}}

In his will, signed on 17 June 1688, Morgan left his Jamaican property to his godsons Charles Byndloss and Henry Archbold, on condition they adopted the surname of Morgan. These were the children of his two cousins Anna Petronilla Byndloss and Johanna Archbold. To his sister Catherine Loyd<!-- The original is spelled Loyd, not the modern Lloyd --> he awarded £60 per annum from his estate "paid into the hands of my ever honest cozen {{sic}} Thomas Morgan of Tredegar".{{sfn|Pope|1978|p=344}}

On 7 June 1692 an [[1692 Jamaica earthquake|earthquake struck Port Royal]]. About two-thirds of the town, amounting to 33 acres (13 ha), sank into [[Kingston Harbour]] immediately after the main shock. Palisadoes cemetery, including Morgan's grave, was one of the parts of the city to fall into the sea; his body has never been subsequently located.{{sfn|Allen|1976|p=181}}{{sfn|Historic Earthquakes: Jamaica}}
