Memorials
There are four memorials to Isidor and Ida Straus in their adopted home of New York City.
- A memorial plaque was located in a 34th Street entrance to Macy's Department Store in Manhattan until approximately 2005 when the entrance was closed. There are plans underway to reconstruct that entrance and to hold a rededication ceremony in late 2013.
- The Isidor and Ida Straus Memorial is located in Straus Park at the intersection of Broadway and West End Avenue at W. 106th Street (Duke Ellington Boulevard) in Manhattan.
- New York City public school P.S. 198 in Manhattan is also named after the Strauses.
- Isidor Straus's remains were recovered by the CS Mackay-Bennett and were buried at Woodlawn Cemetery in the Bronx. His gravestone also serves as a cenotaph for his wife.
