One of my Non-Christian friends is very appreciative of today's celebration or remembering the beloved ones who have gone before us. He likes the idea of praying for the souls and visiting the cemetery with the entire family. The children who have not seen their grandparents or they were tiny tots when their grandparents died, today is a wonderful day to tell them about the death. That Death is not the end, but a new beginning for our heavenly journey.
The cemeteries are decorated today and you can see faithful coming one day before to clean and decorate the graves. The `Souls are remembered and prayed for their salvation. Many light candles on the graves and pray that the Lord forgives their sins and keep all of them in His Loving arms.
Graves are decorated with a variety of flowers to express our love for beloved dead ones. we must keep their memories alive in our thoughts and deeds. Their legacies should always remain in our hearts and minds. 
Friars prayed in the cemetery and then went about blessing each grave with Holy Waters...
