Fearing that some of his former employees or other labor supporters might try to dig up his body, his family arranged for his remains to be placed in a lead-lined mahogany coffin, which was then sealed inside a block of concrete. At the cemetery, a large pit had been dug at the family plot. At its base and walls were 18 inches of reinforced concrete. The coffin was lowered, and covered with asphalt and tar paper. More concrete was poured on top, followed by a layer of steel rails bolted together at right angles, and another layer of concrete. The entire burial process took two days. His monument, featuring a Corinthian column flanked by curved stone benches, was designed by [[Solon Spencer Beman]], the architect of the company town of Pullman.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.cemeteryguide.com/pullman.html |title=Chicago Remains to Be Seen - George Pullman |publisher=Cemeteryguide.com |access-date=March 26, 2013}}</ref>
