Oh, I see. But your situation is a little different than I had in mind. I imagined people keeping a deceased herp that they had owned for years and years in the freezer just to 'visit' with the corpse now and then.

However, I might have a suggestion for your situation; have you considered taking a day-trip to the country (providing you live within driving distance of what might be considered country livin') and asking around local cemeteries? Several small cemeteries around my grandparents cottage have small plots of land dedicated to pets, and I don't think they charge for using them.

Failing that, you could always bury her in a ravine. Larger animals than a puppy die in those things all the time without burial. I'm sure the raccoons won't mind. Regardless, I am sorry for your loss.
