Día de Mu***os, or Day of the Dead, honors the legacy of those who have died.

It is celebrated on both November 1 and 2. The first day, also known as All Saints’ Day, honors children and infants who have passed, and the second day, All Souls’ Day, honors adults.

This tradition dates all the way back to the 16th century and involves creating an altar that is decorated with photos of the dearly departed, painted skulls, bottles of tequila, candles, and symbolic flowers.

Here we have the Marigold, the Flowers of the Dead or Flor de Mu**to. They have a fragrance that attract the souls to the altar and their bright and cheery colors help to remind us to celebrate life rather than to feel bitter about death.

We have Marigolds, Sunflowers, and pumpkins that can be used as festive decoration available. And maybe even a little ukulele to help brighten your day. 🌻
