memorial prayer
or prayer for the dead
The memorial prayer is recited while the congregation stands. Ashkenazim call this prayer Kel Maleh Rachamim / קל מלה רחמים, while Sephardim call it Hashkavah / תפילת השכבה. Sometimes, the memorial prayer is also called Azkarah / תפילת אזכרה or Ashkavah / תפילת אשכבה. In some communities, especially among Sephardim, the memorial prayer is recited later, after the burial.

Thanks. As to the typos - I kept the reference's original spelling, but that doesn't discredit the answer, does it? :)

: Typo, not typos. It is quite standard to substitute a ק for and א or ה when writing a name of God. מלה is indeed misspelled.
