This colorful, festive cemetery is along the route to the Cascadas de Chiflón in Chiapas. Each grave was carefully tended to with fresh paint, colorful tiles, paper flowers and small trinkets. It’s interesting to compare European and Hispanic views about death and the passing of loved ones. The celebration, joy, color and life that is evident in Mexican Cemeteries and especially during festivals like the Dia de los Muertos is completely the opposite of cold, solemn, imposing and gray cemeteries in Europe and America.
