	Rabbi Scheinerman's Home Page - Yahrzeit
		When the yahrzeit falls on Shabbat, the yahrzeit candle should be lit prior to lighting Shabbat candles, since the lighting of Shabbat candles initiates Shabbat and no flame may be lit after that until Shabbat ends.
		Yahrzeit candles, which can be purchased in most supermarkets, are designed to burn more than 24 hours so they will remain burning throughout the yahrzeit.
		Since lighting a yahrzeit candle is a minhag (custom) and not a matter of halakhah (law) there is no reason to object to these, though I have a sense that something is loss in substituting an electric bulb for a geuine flame.

	Q & A on Jewish Mourning Customs
		Yahrzeit means anniversary (yahr-year plus zeit-time), The anniversary is remembered by lighting a candle or oil lamp the evening before the yahrzeit date.
		The yahrzeit date should always be determined by the date of death due to the fact that the burial might have occurred several days later because of unavoidable circumstances.
		If the yahrzeit falls in December, January or February it is advisable to postpone the unveiling untill more favorable weather in April or May. This delay is permissible because of inclement weather.

		The most significant of these is yahrzeit, the anniversary of the death, which is observed according to the Hebrew calendar.

		And then there is the Yahrzeit, that brief candle which marks the anniversaries of deaths and signals families to mourn yet again.

		And I thought about how it took a Christian to teach me that the Yahrzeit is a celebration, a shining reminder that life, and the memory of those who lived, is a blessing to us all.

		A person commemorating a yahrzeit and, similarly, a person observing the thirty days of mourning have priority over other mourners who are in the year of mourning.
		Thus, it is proper that the Kaddish d'rabbonon and the Kaddish after Oleinu be given to the person commemorating a yahrzeit or the person observing the thirty days of mourning, while the other Kaddishim should be divided among the other mourners if their number equals the number of the Kaddishim.
		If many people commemorating a yahrzeit are present, each one is entitled to at least one Kaddish, even if by doing so, the person observing the thirty days of mourning will not be left with a single Kaddish.

	Halachah in Brief #32
		First, let us remember the significance of Yahrzeit for the relatives of the deceased; they say Kaddish on that day, many fast, many learn Mishnayot for the merit of the departed, many visit the gravesite on that day, and many light a Yahrzeit candle to commemorate the day.
		Certainly if someone observed both months on the first Yahrzeit, that person is obligated to observe both days for all time, unless they are matir neder, they annul their implicit vow to observe both months.
		Even if one does this, however, personal humra cannot be used to arrogate to oneself the right to lead the services if there are other hiyyuvim (other people who are vying for the right to lead the community as part of their observances in honor of departed relatives) present.
