Every year I follow the tradition and have a shrine at my house containing photos of my loved ones who have died, food offerings, candles, flowers, especially marigolds, and special breads. It is a tradition dating back nearly 3,00 years to the time of the Aztecs.The belief is that the deceased come back to life on this day to celebrate with us. It begins on October  28th and ends on November 2nd.
