I am so sorry for your loss. You can bury him in your back yard and put her body to rest. Maybe you can even say a few words to bless her body as you lay her to rest. If this is not possible then you can try contacting your local animal shelter or low cost clinic (a quick google search should bring one up) to see if they will take her body for you for you. Again I am so sorry for your loss. Best wishes and take care.
