Bonnie and Clyde wished to be buried side by side, but the Parker family would not allow it. Her mother wanted to grant her final wish to be brought home, but the mobs surrounding the Parker house made that impossible.<ref name="Parker, Cowan and Fortune, p 175">Parker, Cowan and Fortune, p. 175.</ref> More than 20,000 attended Parker's funeral, and her family had difficulty reaching her gravesite.<ref name="Parker, Cowan and Fortune, p 175" /> Parker's services were held on May 26.<ref name="funeral" /> Allen Campbell recalled that flowers came from everywhere, including some with cards allegedly from [[Pretty Boy Floyd]] and [[John Dillinger]].<ref name="funeral" /> The largest floral tribute was sent by a group of Dallas city [[Newspaper hawker|newsboy]]s; the sudden end of Bonnie and Clyde sold 500,000 newspapers in Dallas alone.<ref>Phillips, ''Running'', p. 219.</ref> Parker was buried in the Fishtrap Cemetery, although her body was moved in 1945 to the new Crown Hill Cemetery in [[Dallas]].<ref name="funeral" />

Thousands of people gathered outside both Dallas funeral homes, hoping for a chance to view the bodies. Barrow's private funeral was held at sunset on May 25.<ref name="funeral">Moshinskie, Dr. James F. "Funerals of the Famous: Bonnie & Clyde." ''The American Funeral Director'', Vol. 130 (No. 10), October 2007, pp. 74–90.</ref> He was buried in Western Heights Cemetery in Dallas, next to his brother Marvin. The Barrow brothers share a single granite marker with their names on it and an epitaph selected by Clyde: "Gone but not forgotten."<ref>''Texas Country Reporter'', May 25, 2013</ref>

The [[American National Insurance Company]] of [[Galveston, Texas]], paid the life insurance policies in full on Barrow and Parker. Since then, the policy of payouts has changed to exclude payouts in cases of deaths caused by any criminal act by the insured.<ref>Parker, Cowan and Fortune, p 174</ref>

The six men of the posse were each to receive a one-sixth share of the reward money. Dallas Sheriff Schmid had promised Hinton that this would total some $26,000,<ref>Hinton, p 192</ref> but most of the organizations that had pledged reward funds reneged on their pledges. In the end, each lawman earned $200.23 for his efforts and collected memorabilia.<ref>Guinn, p. 352</ref>

By the summer of 1934, new federal statutes made bank robbery and kidnapping federal offenses. The growing coordination of local authorities by the [[Federal Bureau of Investigation|FBI]], plus [[two-way radio]]s in police cars, combined to make it more difficult to carry out series of robberies and murders than it had been just months before. Two months after Bonnie and Clyde were killed in Gibsland, Dillinger was killed on the street in [[Chicago]]. Three months after that, Pretty Boy Floyd was killed in [[Ohio]]. One month after that, [[Baby Face Nelson]] was killed in Illinois.<ref>Ramsey, pp. 276–279</ref>

As of 2018, Parker's niece and last known surviving relative has campaigned to have her aunt buried next to Barrow.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.wfaa.com/article/news/should-bonnie-and-clyde-be-buried-next-to-each-other-their-descendants-hope-so/287-624006945|title=Should Bonnie and Clyde be buried next to each other?
