Sheaffe entrusted the funeral arrangements to Captain Glegg, who had served with Brock for many years. Brock's body was taken to [[Government House (Ontario)|Government House]] in Niagara. On 16 October, a funeral procession for Brock and Macdonell departed Government House for Fort George, with soldiers from the British Army, Upper Canada's militia, and Indigenous warriors lining the route. As the caskets were lowered into freshly dug graves in Fort George's northeast bastion, the garrison fired a [[twenty-one gun salute]].  Later that day, the American garrison at [[Fort Niagara]] fired a salute in tribute. An estimated five thousand people including military personnel attended the funeral, a remarkable number given the limited population of Upper Canada at that time.{{sfn|Riley|2011|pp=294-295}}

A small [[cairn]] near Queenston  marks the spot where Brock is thought to have fallen.<ref>{{cite web |last1=Hughes |first1=Alan |title=Where Did Brock Fall? |url=https://brocku.ca/social-sciences/geography/wp-content/uploads/sites/152/Where-Did-Brock-Fall.pdf |website=Faculty of Social Sciences |publisher=Brock University |access-date=1 April 2025 |date=2012}}</ref> In 1824, Brock's and Macdonell's remains were moved to a newly constructed [[Brock's Monument|monument]] atop [[Queenston Heights]]. Brock's Monument was bombed and heavily damaged in 1840. This action was reputedly by Irish-Canadian terrorist [[Benjamin Lett]], however, a subsequent assize failed to confirm this.{{sfn|Malcomson|2003|pp=216-217}} The destroyed monument was replaced by a larger structure {{convert|185|ft|m}} high, built at public expense, that still stands. Brock's and Macdonell's remains were reinterred inside the new monument on 13 October 1853. An inscription reads:
{{blockquote|"Upper Canada has dedicated this monument to the memory of the late Major-General Isaac Brock, K.B. provisional lieutenant-governor and commander of the forces in the province whose remains are deposited in the vault beneath. Opposing the invading enemy he fell in action near these heights on 13 October 1812, in the forty-third year of his age. Revered and lamented by the people whom he governed and deplored by the sovereign to whose services his life had been devoted."<ref name=plaque>{{cite web|url=http://www.niagaraparks.com/heritage/plaques.php |title=Commemorative Plaques & Markers |website=Niagara Parks |access-date=1 August 2008 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080731175319/http://www.niagaraparks.com/heritage/plaques.php |archive-date=31 July 2008 }}</ref>}}
