( CNN ) -- `` Breaking Bad 's '' Walter White has been off the air since late September , but his legacy is still looming over Albuquerque , New Mexico , where the series was set and filmed . Fans seeking one last goodbye to the TV character , who transformed from a milquetoast chemistry teacher into a treacherous meth kingpin over the course of five acclaimed seasons on AMC , gathered in Albuquerque on Saturday for a mock funeral . CNN affiliate KOAT said ahead of the service that the plan was to bury a `` small vault filled with memorabilia '' as fans said their goodbyes . With a eulogy given by `` Breaking Bad '' set decorator Michael Flowers and a procession led by a hearse , the show 's famous banged-up RV , and a few Bernalillo County Sheriff 's Department deputies , the event was attended by roughly 200 people , the Albuquerque Journal reports . The faux service , held at Albuquerque 's Sunset Memorial Park , doubled as a fundraiser for Albuquerque Health Care for the Homeless , as attendees paid to participate . According to the funeral 's website , $ 20 bought entrance to the funeral `` and a handful of earth to help bury Walter White . '' Yet for some who have laid actual family members to rest at Sunset Memorial Park , the fake grave site is , at the least , a nuisance . `` It 's going to be difficult to look up and see something going on over there that really should n't , '' resident Manuel Arellano told KOAT . `` This is too much . I bring my family here to visit their grandpa and my wife to visit her dad ... What 's going to happen come Christmas , come Thanksgiving on those hard days for me and my family ? It 's hard to come when we miss my father-in-law so much . It 's going to be hard to see people over there decorating something for somebody that was n't real . '' More than 900 people who agree with that sentiment have signed an online petition asking Sunset Memorial Park to remove the grave site , which includes a headstone . Officials at the cemetery told the Albuquerque Journal that the mock burial was in the clear as long as the cemetery could remove the grave if it became a distraction for others . `` We are a cemetery first and foremost , '' Sunset Memorial Park general manger Vaughn Hendren told the paper . `` Our allegiance lies with our families that have allowed us to bury their loved ones here . '' The online petition asserts that `` the 'officials ' should not put the family members through such disrespect during the process of deciding whether or not too many people are visiting the makeshift grave . '' For now , it seems the petitioners have won out . According to KOAT , the AMC character 's fake grave has been moved , and the headstone is not being kept at the cemetery . While fans may not always have a physical place to mourn the loss of White , who was played by Bryan Cranston , they can always hold on to the obituary . The Albuquerque Journal ran a notice about White 's `` death , '' as constructed by a `` Breaking Bad '' fan group , in its October 4 paper .
