Sorry about loss, but from experience do not burn animal. You will never forget that smell. Instead put in freezer and bury in spring.

  Hnnnnnnnng

imho people cremate animals all day. ive already forgot, since i did not stay around to enjoy the smell, its standard practice in most countries, especially when the animal carries disease. i would never put a loved pet in a freezer next to my food where i would be reminded that spring doesn't come for many months, in some places sometimes thaws don't happen till late April..
