Death
On 7 April 1889, Karam died near Naples, Italy. His last words were "God ... Lebanon". He is buried in Saint George's Church in Ehden, Lebanon where in 1932 a statue of Karam on his horse was erected. This statue was made by his namesake Youssef Howayek. The Italian hosts place a placard on his grave that reads: "this is the resting place of the Youssef Boutros Karam, the Lebanese Prince". Even though, he was never officially a prince, this title was bestowed upon him affectionately due to his stature, behavior, and moral values.
