Día de Los Muertos Ofrenda

Day of the Dead (Día de los Muertos) is one of the most important celebrations in Latin America. It is the date on which people of Hispanic heritage join the celebration of the souls that no longer inhabit the earth. The day is commemorated on Nov. 1 and 2, when it’s believed that the souls of the deceased return to the world of the living. Gift of Life will host the ofrenda for all donor families who wish to honor their loved ones from Oct. 16 – Nov. 3, 2023.
