cemetery - each year, on the day of the death, relatives gather round the graves, repaint them, use them as bars and have a party. Colours depend on who died - child or adult, female, male.

In most regions of Mexico, November 1 honors children and infants, whereas deceased adults are honored on November 2. This is indicated by generally referring to November 1 mainly as Día de los Inocentes ("Day of the Innocents") but also as Día de los Angelitos ("Day of the Little Angels") and November 2 as Día de los Muertos or Día de los Difuntos ("Day of the Dead") source: wikipedia
