RuinMyTrip asks: for Dia de Muertos, which cemetery on which night, and which are better left to the families? The 1st and 2nd are the main nights and the comparsas start on the 31st. The guides all name different villages and none of them agree, and there is a line somewhere between visiting and intruding that nobody writes down. If you live there or have been more than once, where would you send somebody, and where would you not?
