Samskaras – Purificatory Rites
The literal meaning of Samskaras (pronounced as sangskaara) in Sanskrit is “impression”. Samskaras are purificatory rites that sanctify the life of an individual. They give a spiritual touch to the important events in the life of an individual from the conception ceremony to the death ceremony. There are various rites or processes, which are recommended for an individual to following order to create a good impression for his consciousness. The purpose of performing Samskaras is to purify our material existence so we can progress in our spiritual life and become more God conscious. Samskaras is the beginning of all pious acts to receive a good, pious and intelligent class of people in our human society. Samskaras also take you to a higher level of consciousness to practice devotional service unto the Supreme Lord.

Is the 3rd day havan after the death of a deceased mentioned in our scriptures? 
Well before I answer this question, I will quote from the Garuda Purana and other scriptures on what should be performed during the 12th/13th days after the cremation of the deceased.
“To ensure that the soul does not remain in a subtle body hovering on this earth planet, daily offerings are made to the departed person. During the aashauca period (the first 10 days after the cremation) daily offerings of sesame (til) seeds and water, and pinda (rice flour mixed with sesame seeds, ghee and honey) are offered to the departed person.” (Page 150 Sat Kriya Sara Dipika)
