Tomb Sweeping Day and Ester Day
Tomb Sweeping Day is one of the most memorable festival in China.
It is on the fifth day after spring equinox and it is on April, 5 , same as Easter Day.
The two just coinside to each other this year.
At that day, we often go to the tombs where buried our family's ancestors.
Clean the grass on the tomb, burn spiritual paper to the departed in the world of the dead, and everyone kowtows to the ancestors for bright and no bad in next year.
And i think the biggest difference between the two festivals is that we Chinese seek blessing in family members who have gone to the dead land and many of western countries‘ people seek blessing from religion.

Not burn paper in a specific form, the paper itself is unusual. We burn money paper that we think they'll be used in the dead world.Also cars made by paper, houses made by paper and even beauty made by paper, many kinds of paper can burn for dead people.

That's an interesting way to call it, we call it Day of the dead (1° of November). Did you burn paper in a specific form/shape tailored to your relatives?
