He was initially buried in Cimitero delle Porte Sante, Florence. In 1989 his remains and his wife Berthe's were moved, supported by his last descendant, to Brissago where he owned the summer residence Villa Myriam.[60] This decision was influenced by an unverified claim about his preference to be buried there and his casual mention of it in a 1904 speech.

Franz Liszt 1886 Composer Stadtfriedhof Bayreuth [de], Bayreuth, Germany
He died in Bayreuth during the 5th edition of the Bayreuth Festival. Various requests were made to claim his remains, the most powerful ones coming from the Duke Charles Alexander who wanted to transfer his body to Weimar, and from Princess Carolyne who proposed burying him in a Franciscan convent in Budapest.[n 2] His daughter Cosima, the Festival director and wife of the already deceased Wagner, wanted to keep Liszt's body in Bayreuth as it was deemed advantageous for the festival and would also serve Wagner's legacy. As his closest living relative, it was her will that prevailed.[61]

His death was seemingly influenced by his superstitions, particularly his triskaidekaphobia. This fear intensified as he approached multiples of 13, including his 65th birthday in 1939. He altered the title of his opera Moses und Aron, specifically avoiding the two "A"s in Aaron's name, as the original title contained 13 letters. He regularly consulted astrologers for reassurance, and he received a note in 1950 pointing out that the sum of the digits of his age (76) equaled 13, which deeply disturbed him. He died in Los Angeles on Friday, July 13, 1951, just before midnight, after spending the day in bed feeling unwell and anxious. His ashes were interred in Vienna in 1974.[96]
