It is not necessary for one to go through the 3 Ashramas, before taking up Sannyasa. The rule is, "yadahareva virajet tadahareva pravrajet". Also the upanishads state that if one is a knower of certain Vidyas, it doesn't harm his departed parents even if he doesn't do Shraddha karma for them. I am writing this from memory, don't remember the exact location where I read this, but it must be in Brihadaranyaka Up.
