B. It conveys the personal nature of the speaker’s journey.

In the poem the speaker details a horse drawn carriage as death picking her up to take her away. She rides along looking out of the carriage at the scenery. The speaker of the poem does not sound angry or lonely. Her journey with death is one that is matter of fact and not resisted. This tone eliminates options C and D. Also, the purpose of the carriage ride is to demonstrate the journey into death. This helps support the answer as B, along with the phrases "but just Ourselves" as including only the speaker and Death.
