Reverend Holland died just three months after receiving the highest accolade any Hamilton resident could receive. Reverend Rawson officiated at his funeral, which took place at Centenary Church in Hamilton.

"In my day, I have conducted many funerals for people in all walks of life, but that service stands out in my memory. The great Church was filled to the doors, the humble, the poor, the rich, the socially elite, the politically famous were all there and sorrow was written on every face. We had all lost a beloved friend."
