To recite at the graves of the righteous, as practiced by the Holy Master Rabbi Dov Ber (whose soul is in Eden) in Hadiach at the grave of the Holy Master [Rabbi Shneur Zalman of Liadi] (whose soul is in heaven).

Blessed are You, LORD our God, King of the universe, Who created you in judgment, and nourished you in judgment, and sustained you in judgment, and brought you to death in judgment. And Who knows the fate of everyone in judgement. Who, in the future, will return and resurrect you in judgment. Blessed are You LORD, Who resurrects the dead.

You are forever mighty, my LORD, You resurrect the dead, abundant is Your salvation. He sustains the living with kindness, resurrects the dead with abundant mercy. He supports the fallen, and heals the sickly, and redeems those held captive. And He upholds His faithfulness to those sleeping in the dust. Who is like You, O mighty One! And who is compared to You, O King; Who brings death and restores life, and Who causes redemption to sprout forth. And You are trusted to resurrect the dead.

Afterwards one should say the following:

And for all this we must offer thanks to You and to proclaim the unity of Name; the great, the mighty, and the formidable. None can be compared to You, our God, in this world; and there is nothing besides You, our King, in the life of the World to Come. Nothing is apart from You, our Redeemer, in the days of Messiah. And none are like You, our Deliverer, in [the era of] the Resurrection of the Dead.

This is the customary recitation at the time of lighting the [oil] lamps:

I am hereby lighting the lamp of olive oil in the honor of the soul of our masters, teachers, and rabbis whose souls are in the heavenly realms, may their merit protect me, Amen! and so may it be Your will. May their light shine upon the Nefesh, Ruach, Neshamah, Chayah and Yechidah of [state first name] the son/daughter of [state mother's name] in spiritual and in material matters, for children, health and an abundance of sustenance.
