Default morbid insurance question, sorry!

I've just been granted my 309 de facto spouse visa. Yay!

HOWEVER, in the unfortunate event of my untimely demise (God forbid), OH and I have agreed that, for the sake of my parents, my mortal remains should be returned to the UK. Is there an insurance policy that would cover this? I know my backpackers insurance covered 'emergency repatriation' but I'm not a backpacker any more (yay!).

Also, since I'm becoming a temporary de facto resident thingy, does my travel insurance only need to cover my flight over there? I fly out to be reunited with my Aussie beefcake in March, and, yes, I am annoyingly excited. Sorry (!)

Just take out a regular life insurance policy that pays out x dollars on death for a period of y number of years.

Don't complicate things with specifying a particular use for the funds. It might not be so important to your parents at the time anyway.
