Photos: All Hallows’ Day In Hungary
Budapest cemeteries had hundreds of thousands of visitors on All Hallows’ Day recently, the Budapest Funeral Institute said, just like before according to local tradition. Many expats are not familiar with this Hungarian custom, and so here are a few photos for your interest.

For example this year on 1 November the Rákoskeresztúr Cemetery in eastern Pest had nearly 120,000 visitors already by 4.30 pm, and the Farkasréti Cemetery in Buda some 70,000, the institute said.
