24-hour tin Jewish yahrzeit memorial candle

Our 24-hour yahrzeit candle is purpose-built for the anniversary of passing (yahrzeit), shiva observances, Yom Kippur and Yizkor memorial services. The flame of the ner neshama (“soul candle”) is traditionally lit at sundown and burns continuously through the following day, and this tall clear glass format is engineered to complete that full cycle safely: a sturdy jar that contains all molten wax, a lead-free 100% cotton wick, and unscented liturgical-grade wax suitable for synagogue, funeral home, kosher market and Judaica retail environments.

Each glass yahrzeit candle is filled with refined paraffin wax as standard, delivering approximately 24 hours of nominal burn time under draft-free indoor conditions. Natural soy wax and custom wax blends are available for eco-conscious product lines and tiered retail positioning. The vessel holds a stable, low-smoke flame for the full observance without jar breakage, soot build-up on the rim, or premature guttering – the three failure modes that drive returns in this category.

Private-Label Yahrzeit Candles With Custom Hebrew Labels

Standard jars ship with the traditional “Yahrzeit” label layout, including space to record the name and Hebrew date. For wholesale yahrzeit candle programs we provide full OEM support: custom adhesive stickers, direct jar screen-printing and hot-stamp marking, Hebrew or bilingual label designs from your artwork, custom wax tint and retail-ready outer cartons. MOQ starts at 500 pieces per SKU, with free stock samples for burn-time and label-quality validation before bulk production. Backed by 14-year candle-manufacturing lines with BSCI & ISO export certifications, we serve religious-goods distributors, funeral-supply chains and supermarket memorial programs worldwide.

Safe Burning Guidelines for Yahrzeit Candles

Place the glass jar on a stable, heat-resistant flat surface, well away from linens, drapery and floral tributes.

Never leave a burning memorial candle unattended; keep out of reach of children and pets.

Shield the flame from strong drafts to preserve the rated 24-hour burn performance.

Do not move the jar while the wax inside remains hot and liquid.

Allow the jar to cool completely before handling or disposal.

Frequently Asked Questions from Wholesale Buyers

Will it really burn the full 24 hours?

Yes – nominal burn time is approximately 24 hours in draft-free indoor conditions, calibrated for the traditional sundown-to-sundown observance. Actual duration varies with room temperature and air movement; we recommend validating burn time on free stock samples before bulk ordering, and we never overstate hours on the label because inflated claims are the most common cause of returns in this category.

Is this candle suitable for synagogue use?

Yes. It is unscented liturgical-grade wax with a lead-free pure cotton wick, the standard specification for synagogue memorial programs and kosher-market retail. Lightly-scented variants can be produced for memorial-gift lines on request.

Can you print our own label with Hebrew text and Hebrew dates?

Yes. We support custom adhesive labels, direct screen-printing and hot-stamp marking from your artwork, including Hebrew-only or bilingual layouts. Standard stock labels carry the “Yahrzeit” design with space to record the name and Hebrew date. Label proofing is included in the sampling stage at no extra charge for orders meeting MOQ.

What is the difference between this candle and your 7-day jar?

The yahrzeit candle burns approximately 24 hours for the anniversary observance; the 7-day shiva candle burns roughly seven days for the mourning week. Both share the same tall glass jar platform and custom-label options, so many distributors stock both SKUs under one private-label program.

What is the MOQ, and can we get samples first?

MOQ is 500 pieces per SKU. Free stock samples are available – most buyers test three jars in parallel, recording burn hours, flame height and glass-rim soot before confirming the bulk order. Sample lead time is typically within one week; bulk production runs 20-30 working days after sample and artwork confirmation.

How is the candle packed for export?

Each jar is individually protected and packed in export master cartons suitable for pallet loading. Carton quantities and per-carton weight are confirmed on the quotation sheet for your landed-cost calculation.
