Question
I have heard that in the confines of a Bet Hachaim where there is no Minyan present one may say Kaddish for the Met after the burial. Is this correct?
Answer
Rabbi Mordechai Eliyahu has said very strictly that it is forbidden to say Kaddish without ten Jews (ages above 13), even in a cemetary.
