Griffith is buried in Toowong Cemetery, Brisbane, together with his wife, Julia, and their son, Llewellyn. Cemetery records indicate that their plot adjoins that of Griffith’s dear friend Charles Stuart Mein (1841–1890) (barrister, politician and judge), the pair having met during their undergraduate studies at the University of Sydney.
