On a related point, historically some airlines offered "bereavement discount" schemes--you bought the ticket you needed at the available price last minute, and then put in a claim after the event with proof of entitlement for the discount (e.g. death certificate for near relative); and got a refund or a gift card for future travel. If there will be high last minute train prices then we need to press for similar schemes.
This of course wouldn't at all deal with the scenario where you might have to be making repeat visits to someone over an extended time period.
