Yes, most airlines do. You need to phone them & explain the situation.
All airlines have a bereavement policy. This generally means a price discount of 40 to 50%. It is beneficial to also shop discounted airlines like Southwest also to price compare. In all cases the purchaser must offer some proof of situation (death certificate, hospital doctor note, funeral home information, etc.)
The most deeply discounted airfares are the ones made in advance. When you have to travel for a funeral, most airlines will refund the purchase price to the rate of the discounted fare if you can present a death certificate, a letter from a funeral director or a letter from the physician. Funeral directors are familiar with the process and often have a form letter readily available for anyone who asks. You should let the airline know that you are traveling for a funeral and inquire about how to proceed in order to get the discount. Some airlines offer discounts for emergency travel for a number of reasons; always ask.

Berevement fares are offered by airlines so one can get to a destination when dealing with the death or terminal illness of a loved one. To verify the information some airlines will require a death certificate, newspaper orbituary, funeral progam or note from the mortician, note from a physican, medical facility or hospice. However bereavement fares are not always the cheapest fares avaialble as they are only discounted from full fares which are usually higher priced tickets. The main advantage to using these fares is that there is little or no notice required so if one has to be somewhere in a hurry they can be a godsend. American Airlines refers to bereavement airfare as compassionate airfare. These fares are a lot more flexible than others. They are also offered for longer periods, such as right before takeoff. These are great in that they can accommodate for passengers needing to make last minu
