In 1794, his bones were moved to the "Hospital de Jesus" (founded by Cortés), where a statue by Tolsá and a mausoleum were made.
The noble title and senorial estate of the Marquesado was passed down to his descendants until 1811.
There was a public ceremony and all the churches in the city rang their bells. In 1823, after the independence of México, it seemed imminent that his body would be desecrated, so the mausoleum was removed, the statue and the coat of arms were sent to Palermo, Sicily, to be protected by the Duke of Terranova.
In 1836, his bones were moved to another place in the same building. It was not until November 24, 1946 that they were rediscovered, thanks to the discovery of a secret document by Lucas Alamán.

His first letter was considered lost, and the one from the municipality of Veracruz has to take its place.
