Altar Registration Opens August 21, 2026

As autumn arrives and the fragrance of marigolds fills the air, we invite you to join us in one of the most meaningful traditions of our faith and culture. Día de los Muertos is a sacred time to honor the lives of those we love, remember the memories they gifted us, and unite in prayer for their eternal rest.


Throughout our cemeteries, families will gather to create beautiful altars adorned with photographs, flowers, candles, and treasured mementos. These heartfelt tributes tell stories of love that endures beyond death and remind us that those we cherish remain forever present in our hearts.


Whether you are continuing a family tradition or participating for the first time, we welcome you to be part of this special celebration of remembrance, faith, and hope.


🌼 Altar Registration Opens August 21, 2026


Families wishing to create an altar are encouraged to register beginning Friday, August 21, 2026. Once you submit your registration, a cemetery representative will contact you with confirmation and additional event details.
