Día de los Muertos (or Day of the Dead in English) is a holiday that focuses on gatherings of family and friends to remember loved ones who have died. The celebration occurs on November 1st and 2nd when altars are built using decorated coffins, marigolds and photos of the loved one. The altar is then surrounded by sugar skulls, and the favorite foods and beverages of the departed. The Day of the Dead is time of celebration and remembrance, where partying and eating is common.

Please enjoy this cut-out coffin as part of your own Día de los Muertos celebrations and Hall-O-Ween festivities.
