Franklin Journier (how to handle a dead body)

http://www.greenspun.com/bboard/q-and-a-fetch-msg.tcl?msg_id=000PDY

I live in snow country, 5 miles from the nearest town of ~300 and 20 miles from the nearest of ~3000. Several of my neighbors are elderly. If there were a serious breakdown of infrastructure some of these folks would possibly be at risk (yes, I have extra supplies to help take care of them). If the worst happened, what would be the most appropriate/sensitive way to handle a dead body when the ground is frozen solid?

I'm not kidding about this question. I like to think about these things ahead of time.

Looking especially for Leska and/or Anita E. to answer this one. Or Hardliner and other combat veterans perhaps?

Thanks.
