tashman died of cancer at doctor's hospital in new york city on march 21, 1934 at the age of 37. her funeral was held on march 22 in new york city synagogue temple emanu-el with sophie tucker, mary pickford, fanny brice, cecil beaton, jack benny, and other distinguished celebrities in attendance. eddie cantor delivered the eulogy. the burial in brooklyn's washington cemetery attracted 10,000 fans, mourners, and curious onlookers; it became a near riot when people were injured and a gravestone was toppled. tashman left no will, but the distribution of her $31,000 in cash and $121,000 in furs and jewels provoked contentious discussion among her husband and sisters, hattie and jennie. her last film, "frankie and johnny", was released posthumously in may 1936 with her role as nellie bly cut to a cameo.
