If a loved one died abroad I wouldn't care how much it cost to bring them home, or whether travel insurance would cover all or any part of it. 

We're all different, but cost effectiveness wouldn't be on my radar.

Most of us would feel the same.  However, not everyone is in a position to just say 'whatever it takes' and meet that cost.  The expense may cause financial hardship / distress at a time of grief.  Far better to make sure you have sufficient coverage.
