 • MARIGOLDS: Represent the fugacity of life.

 • SKULLS:  Represent the vitality of life and individual personality.

 • CANDLES: Fire is to welcome the spirit and make it easier and guidance.

 • INCENSE: Elevate prayers to God.

 • SALT: A small plate with salt is set in the altar as a purifier element.

 • WATER: A glass of water is set in the altar to calm the souls' thirst after their long journey.

 • FRUIT: To delight the soul.
