The Grateful Dead is a quest for level 1-90. It rewards 1 reward item and 9,500 experience.
It's good to visit with friends and family again, though I may have overdone it... I've already eaten everything they made for me!
Might I trouble you for some more of that delicious Bread of the Dead? I'd be most grateful...
Chapman there sells the recipe, I think.

A key point being missed by many people in-game today:
Buy an [item=46718] and then use it in order to see the quest NPC.
If you're a Dracthyr like me and cant find the quest giver, you can go to old Dalaran's graveyard and there will be a NPC there you can get the quest from after using the marigold!

It's been a long, long time since I did the quests for the Day of the Dead, but as an update in 2023:
If you are playing Dracthyr, you do not go to Valdrakken's graveyard. There is nothing there, they do not celebrate it in the land of dragons (Tested the marigold; there's nothing there). Try your luck at the Orgrimmar graveyard in Durotar. You should see an Orc, Troll, and Goblin spirit in the back row near the headstones. Try your luck with those; if you've already done the quest, then you may not need to bother with the holiday!
