The Gan Clan Association launched its official Memorial Services on 5 April 1992. The words of remembrance on the memorial monument were penned by local calligrapher Master Song Nian. Members may inscribe the demise dates of their predecessors on the monument. The memorial services are normally conducted in the first week of Qing Ming Festival and flowers are presented as a mark of respect and filial piety. The ceremony has no religious connotation.
