My response:

Inside or outside the trailer?

Also, the septic tank hole is not a recommended burial site.

20-17-902. Burial in registered cemetery required - Records.

(a) It shall be unlawful to bury a dead body outside of a registered cemetery.

(b) The sexton or person in charge of the cemetery shall keep a correct record, on a form prescribed by the Department of Health, of each body buried therein.

History. Acts 1929, No. 204, § 3; Pope's Dig., § 6448; Acts 1985, No. 1014, § 3; A.S.A. 1947, § 82-403.

Good info.

It also contained info. on cremation.

Columbarium / Disposal of Crematoria Remains

The cemetery statutes are silent concerning the disposal of crematoria remains or the development of a columbarium for such disposal or interment. The Department of Health does not believe that there is any public health significance to the disposal of crematoria remains, and therefore does not regulate such disposal or the construction or development of columbaria.

true, but cremated remains do not have the same potential future environmental and land development impacts as a buried body would.

Too bad the Poster was not more specific.

Hmmm...
By using all capital letters,----maybe she was just really mad at him.
