questions regarding ceremonies after death

[Guest guest]

I have a few basic questions on the ceremonies performed after death

in our sampradayam.

 

The rituals performed after death are done as mentioned in the vedas.

what were the additions and modifications introduced for the

followers of Sri Sampradaya by our poorvacharyas?( apart from the

Subasreekaram-recital of thiruvaimozhi,ramanuja nootrandadhi,sattumurai

and recitations expressing the conception of reaching perumal

thiruvadi according to sri sampradayam and also perhaps the Srimoorthy

danam after chavandi.)

 

with my limited understanding as i know the 10th day ceremony marks

the start of the process when the soul in the preta rupam begins

the journey of joining the pitrus .In the above context what is the

significance of the "otthan", "chavandi" and the "subasreekaram"

ceremonies.what is being accomplished in these ceremonies?

 

what is the significance /purpose of the stone hidden in the grahadwara

kundam and the tadagatheerakundam which is thrown away on the 10th

day.

 

thanks
