All the sons have to perform Sraddham, individually. The sons can perform it jointly only if there is no partition and there is sharing of kitchen or hearth. It is not correct to presume that the younger brothers can join the elder brother for conducting Sraddham. Even if two brothers are living in the same house in different portions cooking separately, they have to perform Sraddham independently. There is a slender and unsubstantiated loukeeka view that if the mother is alive and the father gone, all the sons can gather at the mother’s place and do Sraddham. When a son dies, the duty of performing Sraddham abates with him, but his son of the deceased, will be invoking the paternal grandfather in Rudra roopa, the second generation, while performing Sraddham for his own father. During Sapindeekaranam, the great great grandfather will be bidden adieu with honour as Vriddha pitaamaha.
