What the scene means

The ofrenda is the heart of Día de los Muertos: an altar with the photo of the one being remembered, water for the journey, favorite food, candles to light the way and marigolds to guide them. Many families add their pets, or build a small altar just for them on October 27.

If you cannot build a physical altar — a small apartment, cats who knock everything over, family far away — this video is an ofrenda you can share, or play on a tablet on a shelf next to their photo.

Best photos for this scene

  • A sitting photo matches this scene best.
  • Make sure the face and ears are clearly visible.
  • Indoor photos work well; the scene is a warm, candlelit room.

Best for families who keep an ofrenda every year, cats, and anyone who cannot set up a physical altar.

Frequently asked questions

Can I put the video on my real ofrenda?

Yes. Many people loop it on a phone or tablet next to the printed photo. See our guide on how to make a pet ofrenda.

Will the altar include my pet’s real things?

The altar is generated from the scene, not from your belongings. For a personal touch, add their collar or toy to your physical altar, or try the free classic card with their name.

Is it respectful to make a digital ofrenda?

Remembering a pet with love is the point of the tradition. Keep the focus on remembrance, and the form — paper, candles or a screen — is yours to choose.
