Each element of the offerings of Day of the Dead has a “feeling,” following the customs and traditions of ancestors of those who honor their dearly beloveds. In private homes, they are often a combination of photographs of the loved one, and things – often vices like smoking or drinking or gambling – that he or she truly enjoyed while alive.
