Making a memorial altar (ofrenda) for a lost loved one for the Day of the Dead is a creative and rewarding way to remember them.  We recommend using a small box, like a cigar box or shoebox.  Often a small altar box becomes the building block of A larger altar that you may want to create in the future.
