He died in a sanatorium in Cincinnati. His funeral was held in the home of John Nixon, a prominent art collector and Bundy patron in Centerville, Indiana. Bundy was Influential in the founding of the Art Association of Richmond (now the Richmond Art Museum) in 1898. His work is widely sought after as a part of private and public collections. The Richmond Art Museum mounted a major exhibition of his work most recently in 2002.
