The children of parents will go abroad, settled there. In tamil there is a proverb, "Settha anniku vaa na patthu anniku vara" (If I asked you to come for the death ceremony, you are coming for the tenth day ceremony). Our this generation children are good examples for this. I just dont want to go in detail regarding this as it will hit the privacy too.

this particular passage from your post,triggerred off some latent memories of mine from the past.when i started dabbling in jyotisham,i found that,i have a sanyasa yogam.wen i told this to my parents,my father was so furious and my mother was dreading,whats got into me!In real life too,only for my father,i was able to perform the last rites and then my fathers older brother took in charge,with my mothers case,neither the death day nor the 10th day,i could go to India.The only consolation is,my mother breathed her last breath,exactly on my janma nakshatram on that month,as if my spiritual guru was telling me,the athma has reached you where you stay,and do the nithya karmas required by you,and by gods grace the Adi_parashakthi temple sivacharyas,came and did all he death ceremony rituals,for athma thripthi as pithru karyam.my wife is my best consoler,who participated in all these karmas for 16 months and 16 days as per our family traditions.only becoz of spiritual gurus and elders this was possible.

my point is,when athma leaves the body,its a shavam,that needs to be taken care off,either by burning in a pyre or burying in ground,as the custom maybe.
