Ravi Sir, Please let me know why people say that we should not give tarpanam till the first year death ceremoney is completed.? Pithru tharpanam is a thanks giving done during certain days like amavasyas and pithru paksha is my understanding correct?

I am extremely sorry for the delayed response and also for my inability to provide all the mantras. However, the mantra you asked for is here. ॐ ऐं ह्रीं श्रीं लं क्लीं ग्लौं गं गुगुरीं।क ए ई ल ह्रीं ह स क ह ल ह्रीं स क ल ह्रीं।ऐं क्लीं सौः।जातवेदसे सुनवाम सोममरातीयतो निदहाति वेदः।स नः पर्षदति दुर्गाणि विश्वा नावेव सिन्धुंदुरिताऽत्त्यग्निः।गं क्षिप्र प्रसातनाय गणपतये वर वरदः।आं ह्रीं क्रों सर्वजनं मे वशमानय स्वाहा सौः क्लीं ऐम्॥om aiṁ hrīṁ śrīṁ laṁ klīṁ glauṁ gaṁ gugurīṁ |ka e ī la hrīṁ ha sa ka ha la hrīṁ sa ka la hrīṁ |aiṁ klīṁ sauḥ |jātavedase sunavāma somamarātīyato nidahāti vedaḥ |sa naḥ parṣadati durgāṇi viśvā nāveva sindhuṁduritā'ttyagniḥ |gaṁ kṣipra prasātanāya gaṇapataye vara varadaḥ |āṁ hrīṁ kroṁ sarvajanaṁ me vaśamānaya svāhā sauḥ klīṁ aim ||There are other variations as well. For other variations, mantra in italics is to be replaced with other mantras such as tryambaka mantra, etc.

No vyāhṛti-s should be prefixed to this mantra. Here is the mantra. This mantra is available in Tripuratāpinyupaniṣat. तत्सवितुर्वरेण्यं।भर्गो देवस्य धीमहि।धियो यो नः प्रचोदयात्।पारो रजसे सावदोम्॥tatsaviturvareṇyaṁ |bhargo devasya dhīmahi |dhiyo yo naḥ pracodayāt |pāro rajase sāvadom ||

Mentally affirm that the benefits accruing due to the recitation of mantra/japa should go to the other person. This is enough.

Krishna says that one should die by fixing his consciousness between his eyebrows and thinking about Him. In the instant case, there is nothing wrong in reciting Vishnu Sahasranama, etc as Self is omnipresent. What has left his body is also the Self.

Ravi Sir, I would like to ask you that is it possible to chant the mruthyunjaya japa on behalf of other person due to various reasons if he or she is not able to do the japa Is there any procedure that we should follow. Please let me know.

When a person dies it is only the mortal body or the cloak which has fallen. But the persons atma is still there. At this juncture is it correct to chant the name of the God, say like Vishnu Sahasranama continously till the dead body is taken for the last rites.

There are many variations of this mantra and it is immediately not possible to publish all these mantras. I will try to do it in due course.
