Tomb Sweeping Day is one of the few traditional Chinese holiday that follows the solar calendar--typically falling on April 4,5,6.Its Chinese name "Qing Ming" literally means "Clear Brightness".
Today,we Chinese often visit our family graves to tend to any underbrush that grown.Weeds are pulled,and dirt swept away,and the family will set out offering of food and spirit money.
So I want to know what do people do in your country,do you do the same thing as us?Do you have some difference?

We often go to our family graves,but I work in another city,so I can't go home on Tomb Sweeping Day,then I can see some people fire the "money " in the cross road,though I don't think it is a good idear,but it is a custom.
