How did it happen that many people (Americans???) flush fish down the toilet?
Just bury it, like you would any other dead pet.
Maybe I'm alone on this, but my family used to put dead birds, squirrels,... found on our terrain in the trash... I really got furious and said that those were living beings and they deserve proper burial even if it's some random animal found in the backyard...
The only way to make them understand what It means was to say: "Don't worry, I will also put your dead body in a trash bin".
That's fine, put me in the trash. Reverence for dead bodies is weird. They aren't living, they will never be living again, they are empty husks of meat. The only reason to bury them or do anything else with them is to avoid the spreading of rot and disease. Putting them in the trash is just as acceptable as throwing out that 2 month old cooked beef you forgot about in the back of the fridge.
Waste Management here doesn't particularly like dead animals going into the garbage. There's a separate service for that
