The Gutierrez Renteria family arrived early at the Panteon Frances (the French Cemetery) in Mexico City on Saturday morning. They had a lot to do to honor their dead loved ones in recognition of Dia De Los Muertos.

A nice video..it is good to get a personal view from the family. We recently visited this cemetery because of my interest in cemeteries and grave markers (see the Association for Gravestone Studies site) but made the mistake of going in without flowers and with a camera visible…..We were escorted out in short order. Thank you for taking the pictures! I really would like to see more of this cemetery. Perhaps we should visit in November, and with a family who have loved ones there.
