On Saturday October 19th, 2013, Albuquerque New Mexico hosted a funeral for its most famous fictional television character. Starting at 4:30 P.M.

To attend both the memorial service at Sunset Memorial Park and the dinner reception at Vernon’s Steakhouse, separate tickets were required. All proceeds made from the the memorial service and dinner reception will be given to the Vernon’s Steakhouse Walter White Endowment Fund benefiting Albuquerque Health Care for the Homeless. According to an article published by krqe.com, two days before the Walter White funeral, $11,000 has already been raised.
On a side note, The Albuquerque Journal published Walter White’s obituary on page A4 of its Friday, October 4th edition.
