After his death in 1877 his foundry was run by his son-in-law Auguste Cain who continued to produce both Mene's and his own works in the highest standard of quality and continued to submit bronzes in Mene's name until 1879. Upon the death of Cain in 1892 Mene's foundry was finally closed and many of his models were sold to the Susse Freres foundry. They published a catalogue of the complete works of P. J. Mene including all of the sizes and subjects. Susse Freres continued to cast and sell Mene's bronzes into the 20th century, all of them bearing their foundry mark or seal.
