Initially interred in Europe, his remains were returned to Illinois in 1949. From a news item published at that time:

"Finally, after his enlistment in both the U. S. Army and the Navy had been rejected because of a physical defect, Meredith of his own accord underwent a serious operation which corrected the ailment and then took his turn in the selective service system. "
