However, if someone offered to pay his hotel bill en route, Müller recorded this amount in his accounts.<ref name="Garton 126–148">Garton pp. 126–148.</ref> He travelled more than 200,000 miles. His language abilities allowed him to preach in English, [[French language|French]], and [[German language|German]], and his sermons were translated into the host languages when he was unable to use the three languages which he spoke.<ref name="Garton 126–148"/> In 1892, he returned to England, where he died on 10 March 1898 in New Orphan House No 3. He was buried at [[Arnos Vale Cemetery]] in Bristol. His funeral was attended by 10,000 people, including 1,500 children from orphanages he established.<ref>{{Cite news |url=https://newspaperarchive.com/obituary-clipping-mar-17-1898-4095966/ |title=The Funeral |newspaper=The Independent |publication-place=London |page=3 |date=1898-03-17 |access-date=2023-10-03 |via=NewspaperArchive}}</ref><ref>{{Cite journal |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=Z384AQAAMAAJ&pg=PA364 |title=Small Talk |journal=[[The Sketch]] |volume=XXI |number=269 |page=364 |date=1898-03-23 |access-date=2023-10-03 |via=Google Books}}</ref>
