DDLM 2025

 



Día de los Muertos is celebrated in Mexico and other parts of Latin America and has gained popularity in the United States. Traditionally, an ofrenda - or altar - includes photos of departed loved ones, candles, bread and foods, items that were important to those being remembered, homemade perforated paper (papel picado), marigolds (cempasúchiles), and skulls made of sugar (calaveras).

Hover over or tap each photo below to view a special tribute message from their loved ones. We will be opening our doors at our headquarters in New Providence for a special viewing of the Día de los Muertos altar on Saturday, November 1 from 11am to 2pm.
