Editor’s note: Día de Muertos offers a way to turn remembrance into a shared family tradition.

In this edition, our illustrated guide explores the elements of an ofrenda and their place in honoring loved ones. We also revisit Sarah DeVries’ reflection on how the holiday keeps those we have lost present in our lives — through their favorite foods, familiar music and the memories we make time to share.

Finally, Alan Chazaro considers what it means to raise his son with both Halloween and Día de Muertos, combining the joy of costumes and candy with the intimacy of building a family altar across generations. Together, these stories invite us to reflect on what we inherit, what we remember and what we choose to pass on.
