Here are some pictures from Hungary, where I've lived for several years in the 2000's.

People dress up and visit the cemetery of their departed loved ones. They tend the graves: remove old, dead flowers and leaves, replace them with a new bouquet or potted plant.
They meet people they haven't seen for a while, maybe since the same time last year. This is respectful but not always somber as they have a chance to catch up with old friends.

The candles on this grave: respect and remembrance.

Be well today and remember those you've lost,
