Granados was a significant influence on at least two other famous Spanish composers and musicians, Manuel de Falla and Pablo Casals. Granados and his wife left six children: Eduard (a musician), Solita, Enrique (a swimming champion), Víctor, Natalia, and Francisco. Ironically, the part of the vessel that contained his cabin did not sink and was towed to port, with most of the passengers, except for Granados and his wife, on board. However, the ship broke in two parts, and only one sank (along with 80 passengers).

Both then drowned within sight of other passengers. Granados refused to leave her and positioned her on a small life raft on which she knelt and he clung. According to witness Daniel Sargent, Granados's wife, Amparo, was too heavy and couldn't get into a lifeboat. On the way across the English Channel, the Sussex was torpedoed by a German U-boat, as part of the German World War I policy of unrestricted submarine warfare. Instead, he took a ship to England, where he boarded the passenger ferry SS Sussex for Dieppe, France. The delay incurred by accepting the recital invitation caused him to miss his boat back to Spain.
