Again general belief system is that females do not participate in final rites.

 

This is across all Hindus sects. If a family or somebody doesn't have a male child, then nephew (son of brothers/cousins) can carry out final rites.

 

However, there has been exceptions based on extreme situations when there is no male family member to carry out final rites or female surviving member was adamant due to any reason.

 

Again no reference as such. May be 'Garuda Puran' might have something.

Garuda Purana Preta Khanda 34.114

“ If there be many co-wives and if only one has a son, all of them shall be deemed to have a son, by that son alone”

Garuda Purana Preta Khanda 8.3-4, 10

Lord Visnu replied to Garuda: “ If both families are maleless, the women should perform the obsequies. Or the King may perform all the rites.”

Lord Visnu said: “ If no authorized person is alive to conduct the obsequious rites after death, one should perform the rites in his lifetime”
