No, there is no need to travel unless he is one of the deceased’s relatives, in which case his presence is required to participate in carrying the body, burying it, and overseeing the funeral. As for the rest of the people, they pray for him and make du'a for him while remaining in their location. Yes. May Allah send prayers and peace upon our Prophet Muhammad, and upon his family and all his Companions.
