May, you can rearrange your time if you are really busy. However, filial piety is observed by Chinese people. They'd put all things they are doing to worship their ancestors on important occasion, I mean, tomb-sweeping festival. You know, I am a Chinese. In my area, we don't go to worship our ancestors on the festival. Our tradition is to do this ahead of the festival. So different places might have their own traditions to observe.
