What does the word yahrzeit mean?
Yahrzeit is a commemoration of the death of a Jew by a mourner (the child, sibling, spouse or parent of the deceased). The date of the Yahrzeit, which is calculated according to the Hebrew calendar, is the anniversary of the death, not the burial. The anniversary of the death of a loved one is naturally a solemn day, and Judaism helps the mourner experience this pain and and also honors the memory of the deceased via Yahrzeit rituals.
When is a Yahrzeit the first observed if the burial occurred days after the death?
Yahrzeit (literally "Time of the Year" and connotatively "anniversary") is the anniversary of the death, not the burial. So the first yahrzeit would be observed on the first anniversary of the date of death. However, some authorities rule that if the burial takes place more than three days after death (the day of death being considered day one) that the first yahrzeit take place on the day of burial.
How do you download a Yahrzeit calendar for August 17 2006 on the Internet?

Can a candle be lit on the evening after the death even if it's not Yahrzeit?
The Yahrzeit does not come straight after the death, but on the anniversary of the death. Therefore, if you light a candle - even one intended for the Yahrzeit that burns for 24 hours - on the evening after the death has occurred, it is not technically a Yahrzeit candle. I can't see that there would be anything halakhically (by Jewish law) wrong with doing so, but I would most definitely urge you to check this with a rabbi and don't just take my word for it. There are several online "ask the rabbi" services who will be able to help you with this - I'd recommend the one at www.chabad.org as they've never let me down yet and will send a personal reply usually within a day or two.
