Question

Hello, My mother, of blessed memory, passed away on the 9th of Shevat, 5784. On which Hebrew date should the memorial and meal, which should be after 11 months, take place?

Answer

Hello

The main time for visiting the grave is at 12 months.  This means on the 9th of Shevat, 5785, and this is also the time to hold the memorial and meal. 

The halachic significance of  11 months is the time to stop saying Kaddish. 

Some have the custom to visit the grave also at 11 months.
