Meera's mortal remains were then sent to the Omandurar Government Hospital where it was confirmed in the autopsy report that she died by suicide. Her mortal remains were then shifted to Vijay Antony's residence where noted Tamil cinema personalities paid their last respects. Meera's funeral proceedings took place on the morning of September 20 and her mortal remains were laid to rest at the Kilpauk Cemetery as per Christian traditions.
On September 21, Vijay Antony posted a note in Tamil on social media in remembrance of Meera writing, "My dear people, my daughter Meera is an affectionate and bold girl. She has now gone to a peaceful world where there is no caste, religion, money, jealousy, pain, poverty, or spite. She is still speaking with me. I too have died with her. I have now begun spending my time with her. I will now carry out good deeds on her behalf and she will kickstart them. Yours Vijay Antony".
