Burial of Emily Adeline HARRIS 1914 (General)

She died on 4th and was registered on the same day in Erdington, North Birmingham by her sister Minnie Marie Marfell Hudson nee Harris. I know Min and her family, and Emily frequently travelled back to the Forest, so presumably this was why she was taken back "home" to be buried with her father and infant brothers. Do you know whether this sort of distance was customary or unusual (other than soldiers) at this time?
