Sorry to hear about your mother. Here is an article from USA Today written late last year covering airlines and bereavement fares (or lack thereof). Not sure if the information is still accurate, but according to the article, United Airlines may offer some type of bereavement discount. Here is the pertinent section from the article:

United Airlines. Under the "Booking Travel FAQs" section of United's website, the airline states: "Do you have any emergency or bereavement rates/discounts? United offers emergency fares for different situations. You cannot obtain these fares on united.com and must call United Reservations at 800-864-8331."
