Unfortunately, there are people who prey on travelers during this vulnerable time.

MSNBC has an article, Dealing with an unexpected death on the road looks at ways to avoid being scammed in this situation.

No one wants to think about their loved one dying out of town, but it happens. As it is with many situations, especially those related to aging, the key is to be prepared.

Do your work ahead of the trip. Give at least some thought to what you would do and how you would handle it, especially if you’re going to be away for a while. Review your life insurance policy, put contact numbers in your wallet, make note of hospitals in the area and consider funeral pre-planning in some cases.
