Marigolds, candles and more will soon light the way to another Día de Muertos, or Day of the Dead. Many will come together in private and public to remember and welcome back the spirits of lost loved ones. This time of remembrance begins in October and traditionally ends on Nov. 2.

How about you? Is there someone special you’ll be thinking about this Day of the Dead?
