No Decaying
Tzadikim that were perfect in this world and were fully Shomer Habris, their bodies do not decay after they pass away. There are a few cases where Kevarim of Tzadikim were transferred in recent years and the workers saw the bodies fresh as they day they passed away.
Locations
In Galil
During the early times of the Mishna and Talmud, many Tzadikim were brought up North to be buried. Although the trip sometimes took 2-3 days this was done to establish holiness into the Galil, something which the Yerushalaim area naturally had due to the Bais Hamikdash.
From Bavel
Many Tzadikim were brought up from Babylon to be buried in Eretz Yisroel, a trip that often took a few weeks. Sometimes these Tzadikim were brought up right after their passing. Other times they were temporarily buried locally and were transferred at a later point.
