I thought it had something to do with what happened in the after-life if a son performed the cremation (if I remember correctly). But I could be wrong.
On another note, does anyone recall the story of a Ms Indira Rana, a lawyer by profession, who performed the last rites of her mother? It got front page coverage in Nepal a few years ago as a bold and revolutionary step.
