Variety Staffer Victoria Garland wrote that those who celebrate the holiday have unique ways to honor loved ones who have passed away. “Ofrendas, an important part of Día de Los Muertos, are shrines that honor the dead,” Garland wrote. “Photos of the people being honored are placed on the altars and decorated with many things such as colorful flowers, sugar skulls, crosses and candles, along with some of their personal objects or items that represent them. They’re intended to welcome the deceased to the living world to show how they aren’t forgotten.”
