Anne is buried in [[Westminster Abbey]] beside her husband. In 1395, Richard sealed contracts for a monument for himself and for Anne. This was an innovation, the first time a double tomb was ordered for an English royal burial. Contracts for the base of Purbeck marble were sealed with two London masons, Henry Yevele and Stephen Lote, and for the two life size effigies with Nicholas Broker and Godfrey Prest, both coppersmiths of London. Designs, now lost, were supplied to both sets of craftsmen. The coppersmiths' contract stipulated that the effigies were to be made of gilded copper and latten and to lie under canopies. They were to be crowned, their right hands were to be joined, and they were to hold sceptres in their left hands.<ref>{{Cite web | url=https://www.history.ac.uk/richardII/anneofb.html | title=Anne of Bohemia and her contribution to Richard II's treasure}}</ref>
Their joint tomb is now damaged, and the hands of the effigies are chipped off. The inscription on her tomb describes her as "beauteous in body and her face was gentle and pretty." When her tomb was opened in 1871, it was discovered that many of her bones had been stolen via a hole in the side of the casket.<ref name="WAORG">[http://www.westminster-abbey.org/history-research/monuments-gravestones/royalty/12321 Richard II and Anne of Bohemia] {{webarchive |url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080513125511/http://www.westminster-abbey.org/history-research/monuments-gravestones/royalty/12321 |date=13 May 2008 }} at Westminster-Abbey.org.

Anne of Bohemia is known to have made the [[sidesaddle]] more popular to ladies of the [[Middle Ages]].<ref>{{cite book| url= https://archive.org/details/bub_gb_hvYPAAAAYAAJ  | quote= anne bohemia sidesaddle.  | last= Strickland | first= Agnes |title= Berengaria of Navarre.

She also made the horned, Bohemian-style headdress the fashion for Englishwomen in the late 14th century.
