Can tomb sweeping be done on a separate day by different relatives instead of gathering together?

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.

Hi May, it is tradition in Penang to perform QingMing during the period 10 days before 4th/5th April till 10 dsys after so that everyone can schedule their time n pace out their obligations..also the cemetries won't be so filled with visitors.

hay MAY
i think it is absolutely fine if you wanna tomb sweeping in a separate day...
the point of this feast holiday is showing the respect to the past relatives.
therefore, i believe, if you carry your sincere heart with respectful to the past tombs, they will still get your feelings all the time...
best wishes
