Cemetery Pomuch

In Pomuch, Campeche, the traditions of Day of the Dead acquire a special feature. Families removed from their boxes and ossuaries bones of their dead, burrow between the basins of the skulls, shaking with a cloth, ribs and phalanges, because that is what tradition dictates that unites the living with those who are gone.

"We took the dead and make cleaning. Bring the drawer and embroidered blanket. We cleaned well and estibamos inside. It takes the ossuary where it will and fits well. He lay their flowers and candle. Already in the deceased's house the table is set with -prepared pibipollo mass and meat cooked in tomato and seasonings baked on earth and everything else he liked: Sugar Loaf or salty, sweet coconut or pumpkin, water or drink, which is what I preferred the deceased. And he prayed again. "
