They visit them with bouquets of cempasúchil, an intense orange flower that they strip off the leaves on the tombstones and scatter along the roads so that the dead know where to go.

They also bring food to their dead and share with them the dishes that they liked the most in life.

The celebration is undoubtedly spectacular, since the children dress up as catrinas and give each other skulls or poems with which they laugh at death and dance. Catrina parades, processions and horror festivals are held in various parts of the country.
