As the procession of mourners began to move, the coffin was carried down the staircase by his sons, Ernest, Charles, and George, and his son-in-law, Baron von Ungern-Sternberg, assisted by Drs. Kamphausen and Week, who had been Bunsen's fellow-labourers in the ' Bibelwerk,' and by them it was borne along the streets of Bonn to the cemetery, some of the students taking their turn as bearers. The sounds of a favourite hymn-tune, proceeding from the same orgue expressif to which the loved departed had been so fond of listening in his lifetime, accompanied the coffin as it was being borne down the staircase, and ceased not till it had left the house.
