The expense plus the stink. I doubt many ships wanted a rotting corpse onboard for days on end. They couldn't just pop them on a plane and get them home in a day. By the time passage was arranged and they were arriving in England the body could be weeks old.

Are you not mildley interested? 1880 would suggest the lancs lad lived through the founding of philadelphia when it was a wild west town.

Philadelphia would have been a "wild west town" in about 1680, not 1880.
