The policy is stated in the fare conditions and conditions of carriage for your ticket.
In the case of the death of an immediate family member, cancellation (before departure) or change fees are waived. Note you may still have to pay a fare difference.
Immediate family member is defined as:
“Immediate Family” means your spouse, your children (including adopted children), your parents, your brothers and sisters, your grandparents, your grandchildren, your parents-in-law, your brothers and sisters-in-law and your sons and daughters-in-law.

You will also need to provide EK with a copy of the death certificate.
