Casa Guadalajara ofrenda honors Peter Seidler in Old Town

• It's on display through Nov. 2, along with altars at other Bazaar del Mundo venues.
• To honor Seidler's work as an advocate for those experiencing homelessness, visitors can donate to the Lucky Duck Foundation.

What they're saying: "...You drove the clouds of doubt from our stadium, but so much more important, you drove into our hearts the desire to help the weak, helpless and needy," an excerpt of a poem at the ofrenda.

The big picture: Día de los Muertos is a holiday celebrated around Nov. 1, particularly in Mexico and Latin American countries, to remember loved ones who have died.

• The ofrenda or "offering" is meant to welcome the souls of relatives returning to their families once a year for a celebration of life.
