His gravestone on the Mount Of Olives is inscribed : "The honorable resting place of the great genius, the righteous and renowned Rabbi Yehuda Cohen Krausz, may his memory be a blessing, who was formerly the spiritual leader of the community of Jankovaczs and later of the community of Lackenbach, was gathered to his people on the 21st day of the month of Shevat, 5799, in Jerusalem, the Holy City known in Judea and throughout Israel. His name is widely recognized due to the many moral books he translated into spoken language, such as the books "Sefer Peleh Yoetz”, Tzainah V’Ra’ainah, " and others, which have been widely disseminated across the globe to enrich and nurture the spiritual well-being of the masses. Furthermore, he was a wise teacher and scholar who left behind a legacy of blessings, building and marriage, rabbis and novelties in Shema’ata and Aggadah, among many others. These are written down and remain as a testament to his mother, Dvora, may her soul be bound up in the bond of eternal life."
