Look, we loved Breaking Bad as much as the rest guy, but even we have to admit: This is overdoing it. According to Uproxx, Albuquerque-based charity Healthcare for the Homeless put on a massive funeral for Walter White, who is still a fictional character, at a real cemetery in the city. Yes, he has a gravestone and everything.

From local station KOB4:

None

The charity reportedly raised about $17,000 from the event, proceeds of which went to "Vernon’s Steakhouse Walter White Endowment Fund"—real name—to benefit Albuquerque Health Care for the Homeless.
