Dear Thomas,
I fully agree with Helen that you can pay your respects on Tomb-sweeping day. The Chinese traditions and customs can be found in the internet, some cannot be applied on this day and age as you will be following cycles of what to do on the 7th day, the 9th day, the 30th day, the 100th day, going up to the 999th day at monthly intervals.
I do not mean to disrespect the dead but respect the dead in your own way: I am sorry to say this but do not put on the sack-cloth and burn incense just to show others you are respecting the dead.
