There is Decoration Day in Britain, Canada and the other Commonwealth nations. The date is different but the idea is the same.

The US Memorial Day was actually begun by the grieving women of the ex-Confederacy, and was originally May 10, the day Stonewall Jackson died. After a few years the idea was co-opted nationally and moved away from May 10, to the end of the month.
