Where to put the skulls?

Every year I make sugar skulls for Dia de los Muertos, but I’m not Mexican. I’m part Italian. I just enjoy the process and the decorating. Then… I never know what to do with them. There used to be an older cemetery between my commute from work to home and I would find the oldest grave I could to leave on. I’ve since moved further into the city. Why don’t they put more cemeteries in city limits? Commuting with sugar skulls is terribly awkward. Just saying.
