Families are used to making altars to their dead children or within their houses or on the tablets in the cemeteries

The families spend long hours working in the altar, many of these altars are considered true works of arts, since they reflect the work, dedication and creativity of people to offer a good altar. Many forms exist to make dead altars, simplest it usually it makes much people within his houses since on a table covered with a table cloth a photography of the passed away person is put, and it adorns with flowers and some memories.

The people guard during the night in the tomb hoping that the spirit of his dead lowers and enjoys his offering.
This celebration is different in other places, for example in Oaxaca enormous carpets done of flowers throughout the main streets are made that represent a true artisan work of people, in other places ethnic groups make rites like their ancestors, to venerate to deads.
