If you treat your pets like children, then you know the pain of losing them can be unbearable. That's exactly why some people choose to honor their furbabies right along with their human loved ones on Día de los Muertos — including Salma Hayek.

The Mexican-born actress shared a picture of the moment she lit the candles surrounding her altar, which was colorfully decorated with sugar-skull-printed placemats, writing:

"I made a special altar for my horses Pepe and Blosie who's ashes are on the wooden boxes and my dogs Gucci and Mozart in the little wooden and tin box with paws they eternally live in my ❤️. #dayofthedead #diadelosmuertos"

Beyond sweet! As you wipe away your tears, see even more beautiful ways Día de los Muertos is celebrated in Salma's homeland.
