Yahrzeit Memorial & Calendar
Yahrzeit Memorials
Yahrzeit Memorials
Yahrzeit, meaning “year’s time” in Yiddish, marks the anniversary of one’s death according to the Jewish calendar. Traditionally, a yahrzeit candle is lit at sunset the night before the corresponding date and kept lit throughout the following day until it burns itself out. Hillside Memorial Park and Mortuary is pleased to offer a number of services to help you observe these sacred ceremonies.
