And unfortunately loss of imminent family member is not a reason.
When my maternal grandma died about 10 years ago, Mum couldn't pull any bereavement fare. But she said our TA used her GO seat guarantee for the only time she's ever used it to date.

My suggestion is simply buy whatever you can buy.
Bereavement Fares, offered or not, usually contains lots of restrictions. In some cases, buying a typical ticket may be cheaper.
Beside - when you think about bereavement fare, always remember this - airlines are business. They don't do favors without reasons.
