March 31 – April 1, 2012
Ancestor worship is a Chinese tradition that goes back thousands of
years. “Qingming" or “Remembrance of
Ancestors Day” is therefore a key holiday in the Chinese calendar.
On this weekend, you
may view hundreds of families visiting the cemetery to sweep/clean
their ancestors’ graves and repaint the inscriptions on the headstones
to show their respect. The families will bring food offerings
too.
Mountain View Cemetery will be serving refreshments to
families on March 31 – April 1. Family Service consultants will be available
to discuss our new burial plots and niches.
