Día de los Muertos
October 31, 2022 - November 2, 2022
On an annual basis, the Davis Cemetery District holds a Dia de los Muertos (Day of the Dead) celebration on our grounds. This celebration is one of the last Mesoamerican indigenous-influenced rituals, honoring mother earth and all its ancestors. This celebration is part of an effort to create a community, a sense of belonging, and global awareness of cultural richness in our multicultural society.
Educational signage and video welcome video will be placed along our internal roadway
A public altar will be set up outside the administration building for viewing. We also welcome contributions to the altar from our visitors
Fresh marigolds will be available for the public to place on graves in order to honor their loved one
