Marigolds are the typical flowers found on decorated grave sites and on sidewalks leading into residences for Day of the Dead. The flower trials leading into residences are so that the spirits can find their way back home. Just outside a market near the zócalo in Cholula, Puebla, bushels of these flowers are sold that are picked fresh from the marigold fields nearby.
