Casa Ramirez

Comment on Facebook

Casa Ramírez is located in Houston's Historic Heights section. With its warm atmosphere and special color, Casa Ramirez attracts all visitors. The gallery exhibits and sells all kinds of Mexican craftwork, from portraits, antiques and ceramic, clay, metal and wood artifacts and figures, to the most varied artistic elements. You can admire the creation of artists and artisans.

An example of this is the traditional exposition of Mexican altars, which the gallery holds commemorating November 1st and 2nd, Day of the Dead.

For El Dia de los Muertos (the Catholic holiday All Souls Day) November 2, the store is adorned with 14 altars honoring the deceased, complete with calaveras de azucar, votive candles (to light the way for the souls), incense, yellow flowers called Xempoaltxochitl (similar to the African marigold) pan de muerto, the deceased’s favorite food and or favorite drink, their photo and favorite toys or items. It is an educational experience and cultural enrichment to learn from his exhibits how death is realistically accepted without fear.
