Booth's body was taken to the ironclad USS Montauk at the Washington Navy Yard for identification and an autopsy. His cousin, actress Blanche Chapman, was among the people to identify him. The body was then buried in a cell in the Old Penitentiary at the Washington Arsenal. In 1867, the body was exhumed, placed in a pine box, and locked in a warehouse at the prison. In 1869, the body was once again identified before being released to the Booth family, where it was buried in an unmarked location in the family plot at Greenmount Cemetery in Baltimore

Probably in the family plot, he was from a famous acting family around the Washington DC area.
