We decided to take Buddy to the vet to bury him for us, as we were very scared that Codi would dig up Buddy. We wanted to have Buddy cremated, but decided on a burial instead. Our vet has a very special place in his garden where he buries all the animals. It was just easier for us. As Renee750il said, there shouldnt be any cleaning up, but there is that little thing of doing something with the body, which I found very hard to deal with, I felt like I was giving him away, but I knew that the vet would take good care of him and make it easier for us.
