Families arrived at the cemetery before dawn with sacrificial offerings to commemorate their ancestors. The younger members took the responsibility of carrying the heavier items, while the older members carried lighter ones and walked to the top of the hill with the support of the younger members.

Upon reaching the ancestor's gravesites, families would clear the surrounding weeds, touch up the inscriptions on tombstones with red paint, and offer fresh flowers and sacrifices to express respect and fond memories for their ancestors. In addition to cemeteries, some families place their ancestors in a tower of ashes to facilitate worship. During the Qingming Festival, The Perak Cave and Sam Poh Tong Temple were crowded with people. We could see that the family members collaborated and divided tasks among themselves. Some are responsible for arranging offerings and presenting fresh flowers, while others are in charge of lighting incense and candles to worship the ancestors.

During interviews, Mr. Toh mentioned, "There is such a big crowd every year which has pushed me to be early. I rarely visit the temple, but only during the Qingming Festival. The temple is opened for outsiders in the common days." 

Ms. Lee shared that families have to prepare sacrificial offerings for ancestor worship by themselves, as the temple does not provide them. However, the temple has prepared vegetarian food for the guests to enjoy for free.
