When a son is alive (but in another place) can a son-in-law perform the last rites or Shrardh?

Shrardh

Previous (Can we perform Paksha Shrardh on Shoonya Tithi day? Is there any pramana for this?)     |     Next (In some Maths, when we perform Shrardh, they do not leave any Pitru sesha. Instead, they give Banana as Pitru Sesha? Is it appropriate?)
