Unveiling Dedication, Hakamat Matzeivah
Rabbi Maurice Lamm writes here and in his informative book, The Jewish Way in Death and Mourning, "For purposes of reciting the Kaddish, a minyan is required. In the minyan are included all adults present. "

I want to clarify that according to Orthodoxy, and Rabbi Lamm, that only males, not "all adults" are included,

Rabbi Lamm's book was helpful to me through the mourning process since my husband, Marcel, z'l died last year, as well as now as I prepare my husband's meaningful Unveiling Dedication this next week.

I am doing(layman leader) a informal unveiling for my Sister.
I would like to know what specific psalms and prayers I do I read and what is the reading order of the prayers and psalms in the ceromony.
