Sat Siri Akaal. I don't think it matters. Saskar on a dead body is really about telling the spirit that inhabited that body that the body is GONE, and so there is nothing to attach to; the spirit must leave the earth plane. Your mother's spirit is still with her; only her physical leg is going to be amputated. Saskar is not necessary, but I suppose if you can arrange it, it's OK. Since it's cancerous, burning is one of the best ways to prevent the spread of disease elsewhere in the environment.
