Various Jewish, Christian, Buddhist, Neopagan, Indigenous, and other traditional religious practices include lighting a memorial candle, and it's also done by some in a fully secular manner without religious attachments.

guessing that granddad wasn't Jewish and served in WWII, so the spam was what he ate in the trenches.
Maybe the husband is canonically a fan of SPAM? I dunno. Good question.
To be honest that’s a great question. I have no idea lol
Maybe he's a Monty Python fan?
Is this a Jewish thing? I figured it was an early Dia del Muertos thing.
