Which to light first Hanukkah Candles or Yahrzeit Candle?
If you light the yahrzeit candle before it's time to light the Hanukkah-menorah, you may light the yahrzeit candle first. Otherwise, once it's past sunset, you should wait until about 20 minutes after sunset, light the Hanukkah-menorah, and afterwards light the yahrzeit candle.
Do you burn a yahrzeit candle every year?

What candle do Jewish people light for the dead?

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.
What time of day do you light yarzheit candles?
The yahrzeit candle burns during the entire roughly-24-hour date during which thedeceased individual is memorialized ... from the sunset that begins that day until thesunset that ends it. When the date happens to be a Sabbath, then the yahrzeitcandle would be lit immediately before lighting the Sabbath candles on Friday night.When the date is a Sunday, then the yahrzeit candle would be lit immediately afterthe recitation of Havdalah on Saturday night.
What prayer is said when extinguishing the yahrzeit candle?
No prayer is required when extinguishing a Yahrtzeit candle, because according to tradition, a Yahrtzeit candle is not to be extinguished. It should be let burn for the entire 24 hours of the anniversary, beginning at sundown. If the candle must be extinguised because of a safety issue, it may be extinguished without a prayer. If at all possible, however, you should arrange to be around long enough to allow it to burn out naturally. If this is impossible for you, there are alternatives such as electric candles which may be safely left on for 24 hours. There is nothing special about the candle itself, and any candle or light source that can remain lit for the full 24 hours may be utilized. The same light should not, however, then be used for other purposes.
