The magazine issued a special edition of their popular weekly magazine where they caricatured Takhti with angel wings flying high above the throngs of persian mourners at his own funeral with a caption that read “Don’t cry for me, cry for your own plight.” Towfigh magazine was shut down by the Shah for several months after printing this cartoon. He is buried at Ebn-e Babooyeh cemetery in Southern part of Tehran, near Shahr-e Ray, where he is commemorated every year by his fans.
