Riverside Funeral Homes serves the Albuquerque, New Mexico metropolitan area through two locations, one in Albuquerque and one in Los Lunas. Together, these locations extend across Bernalillo and Valencia counties, serving families in Albuquerque, Los Lunas, and the surrounding communities of central New Mexico. Services available across the market include burial services, cremation services, funeral and memorial services, and pre-need planning.

Riverside Funeral Home - Albuquerque is a standalone funeral home with an on-site crematory located in the Southeast Heights neighborhood within Albuquerque's International District. Founded in 1998 by Charles "Charlie" M. Finegan, the location operates its own crematory and includes a chapel, private viewing rooms, and witness cremation. The location has a sustained relationship with the New Mexico Office of the Medical Investigator to provide cremation and burial services for indigent and unclaimed individuals in the Albuquerque area, a community commitment that continues today.

Riverside Funeral Home - Los Lunas is a standalone funeral home situated on Old Main Street on the East Side of Los Lunas, opened in 2012 as the second Riverside facility in central New Mexico. The location includes a chapel with audio-visual support for memorial services and celebrations of life, along with identification and private viewing options. Families who have worked with this location consistently describe the experience as more personal and attentive than expected, frequently recognizing individual staff members by name for their patience and guidance throughout the arrangement process.

When choosing between locations, families typically consider geographic proximity, whether they need an on-site crematory, and specific facility requirements such as a chapel or audio-visual support for services. The Albuquerque location offers on-site cremation capability, while the Los Lunas location coordinates cremation through the Albuquerque facility. Both locations offer Spanish-language services.
