They say you only truly die when your name is spoken for the last time.

Cempasúchil flowers, sugar skulls, white candles, cut-out paper, moving photos, pan de muerto (bread of the dead), treasured photos, seeds and fruits, the tacos al pastor that loved one used to like so much and the tequila that couldn’t be missing for pairing with that tortilla, trompo and pineapple feast.

Day of the Dead is an important Mexican holiday that celebrates and honors deceased loved ones.
