Although it was long believed that Finger was buried in an unmarked potter's field grave, his body was claimed by his son Fred, who honored his wish to be cremated, and spread his ashes in the shape of a bat on a beach in Oregon.
Meskipun sudah lama dipercaya bahwa Finger dimakamkan di kuburan ladang pembuat tembikar, tubuhnya diklaim oleh putranya Fred, yang menghargai keinginannya untuk menjadi dikremasi, dan sebarkan abunya dalam bentuk kelelawar di pantai di Oregon.
