One of the most obvious I can think of is Dia de los Muertos, literally Day of the Dead. Celebrated the most in Mexico, the holiday is meant to celebrate and honor the deceased, not mock them. Another is Easter, celebrating the death and resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ. One could possibly say that Halloween is meant to in some way celebrate the dead. Dia de los Muertos comes from the Mexican culture, Easter from the Christians, and Halloween comes from All Souls' Day. Superstitions would be ghosts, holding your breath past cemetaries, are many of the fears related to dying and ghosts.

The Shia festival of ASHURA celebrated on the 10th day of Muhraam by the Islamic Calender every year celebrates the death of The grandson of Prophet Mohammed (PUBH), Hussain and his family and Friends, at Karbala in IRAQ in the 7th Century AD. The death is Mourned every year in every Shia Muslim house.
The Good Friday and Easter is yet another example of Celebration of death in this case Prophet ISA (PUBH) or Jesus as otherwise known celebrated in the Christian culture
Dussera is the festival that celebrates the death of RAVANA who personifies evil in the Hindu school of thought when he was killed by RAM a Godly personification of Good again celebrated every year in Hindu culture

I know of two;
The Mexican Day of the Dead. (Celebration of ancestors past)
Halloween (also known as Samhain)
In many cultures (I know of Greek and Irish) they place coins over the eyes of their dead to pay the ferryman - otherwise their souls have to wander for eternity.
