García was buried alongside her daughter in a mausoleum at Panteón Español cemetery in Mexico City. While she was being buried, the song "Mi Cariñito" ("My Little Darling/Beloved One") was played, as this song was the one that Pedro Infante sang to Sara several times, particularly he sang it drunk and tearful as a lament after Sara’s character died in the movie "Vuelven Los Garcia" ("The Garcias Return"). It is said that the song was sung at her funeral by Lucha Villa.
