It is unknown how long he lived, but he was considered a very important person in the colony, as it was he who introduced the law that all Portuguese were to be treated as equals regardless of social status. The law was a great source of pride for the colonists, and an example of a powerful non-Brazilian who had a great effect on Brazilian history. He was a famous, well-respected man for his work, and a great influence on the colony.
He died in 1835, and is buried in the Cunha family cemetery in Recife, Pernambuco. The tombstone was erected by his daughter, Maria Amélia Cunha Marques, who was only 5 years old at the time of her father's death.
In honor of Euclides da Cunha, Brazilian linguist and anthropologist João José Reis de Campos designed an oblique (right-pointing) and rectangular tombstone and placed it on the family plot next to his wife, but it has since been removed.
