Remnant was created a Baronet, of Wenhaston in the County of Suffolk, in July 1917 and on his retirement from the House of Commons in 1928 he was raised to the peerage as Baron Remnant, of Wenhaston in the County of Suffolk.

Lord Remnant married Frances Emily, daughter of Robert Gosling, in 1892. He died in January 1933, aged 70, and was succeeded in his titles by his eldest son Robert. Lady Remnant died in 1944.
