Yes, Mexicans make altars to honor the dead as part of the tradition of Day of the Dead (Día de los Muertos). These altars, known as ofrendas, are decorated with photographs, candles, flowers, food, and other offerings to remember and celebrate their deceased loved ones. It is a way to maintain a connection with the departed and to show respect and reverence for their memory.
