Let’s talk about the unidentified people on the Rivera family’s ofrenda for a bit. I want to have a go at figuring who’s who.

First of all, there’s these two – an old man who looks remarkably like

Papá

Franco, and a woman who has visibly darker skin than the average of the Rivera family. I’m 99% sure these were Papá Franco’s parents, it’s so easy to see their features in him.

This man seems tall and has a stocky build, rather similar to Abel – they even have the same jaw. That makes me think he was Tía Carmen’s father.

This photo confuses me? It looks very old, but a lot more candid than Imelda and Héctor’s family photo. And I can’t really point out a family member who resembles this lady. Maybe it’s an old family friend who was almost like family to the Riveras and they put her on the ofrenda? Maybe it IS a family member I simply cannot place?

Before the end of the movie, this is the only photo on the ofrenda that is in color. It’s not as crisp and clear as Mamá Coco’s photo, but it doesn’t look too old. I want to say they’re Luisa’s family, if only because there’s no one on the ofrenda that obviously resembles her. I thought at first that they’re Luisa’s grandparents, but the woman looks elderly and the man looks middle-aged at best. Maybe it’s Luisa’s father? Then where would her grandfather be?
