Street Altars - Day of the Dead - Mexico

            More day of the dead

A further custom is the creation of small personal altars to the deceased which are placed in the streets in front of the homes and stores of family members. Each altar will include pictures, many candles, sometimes electric lights, flowers, mementos, food and drink (note the Coke,  Mexicans drink more Coke than anyone else).Stores remain open during the night in case one Coke is not enough for the deceased
