"Breaking Bad" fans still searching for closure got some on Saturday, as an Albuquerque steakhouse hosted a funeral for the drama's famed antihero, Walter White.

The event began with a funeral procession that included a hearse and a replica of White's meth-lab RV. A memorial service was held at Albuquerque's Sunset Memorial Park cemetery, with "Breaking Bad" set decorator Michael Flowers delivering the eulogy. Fans were able to toss a handful of dirt onto the gravesite, which is marked with a real headstone. Tickets for the event raised nearly $17,000 for a local charity, Healthcare for the Homeless."My son is buried about 15 yards from where the makeshift gravesite is." Manuel Montano told local affiliate KOB News. "This is a place of mourning. It's not a spectacle."
