Charles left strict instructions to his ‘dear and best deserving wife’ to forbid a funeral service. This was not for motives of economy, for in his will dated February 1628 he bequeathed £50 to the poor of Watford and £400 to his household servants. He left his nephew the 4th earl of Bedford (Sir Francis Russell) £50 ‘to buy him a horse’, with a request to continue his friendship to the family, £40 to his father-in-law for the same purpose, and £20 to his cousin Edward Alford +++ for a mere nag, ‘ever acknowledging his faithful love to me and mine’.
His widow buried him, in accordance with his instructions, in the north aisle of Watford church, and provided this monument at a cost of £400 in tribute to 21 years of married life ‘without quarrel or cloud’. The epitaph praises his "piety, virtue and intelligence, and his outstanding prudence and dexterity in managing the public business of the province in which he flourished, besides the gentleness and elegance of his manners, humanity and beneficence"
