When his wife, Beatrice, died in 1943, the casket of her ashes was buried in the garden of their house in Passfield Corner, as were those of Lord Passfield in 1947.

Shortly afterwards, [[George Bernard Shaw]] launched a [[petition]] to have both reburied in [[Westminster Abbey]], which was eventually granted – the Webbs' ashes are interred in the nave, close to those of [[Clement Attlee]] and [[Ernest Bevin]].

The Webbs were also friends of philosopher [[Bertrand Russell]].<ref>''Autobiography of Bertrand Russell'' (London: Allen and Unwin, 1969).</ref>

In 2006, the London School of Economics, alongside the Housing Association, renamed its Great Dover Street student residence Sidney Webb House in his honour.
