What Should I Do with My Baby's Remains After Home Miscarriage? (Moo Ponders)

"Hi Ladies,
I know this probably sounds like a strange question but the truth is I've never had to deal with this particular situation before.
I recently suffered my 5th miscarriage at home. I passed the gestational sac intact and promptly put it in a specimen cup to take with me to the doc. Only this time the gestational sac hasn't been taken from me and sent for testing (I have no idea why).
So for the first time, I still have my baby (in a specimen jar in my fridge). I just can't bring myself to just throw it out with the garbage or flush it. That just seems so wrong like it was unloved and unwanted which isn't the case at all. So what do I do with it? Has anyone else faced a similar dilemma and what did you do with it? I suppose we could bury it but we're in the midst of landscaping so i don't want to risk the bobcat or gardners digging it up again either. I also don't want it to stay in my fridge. I need to let it go I just dont know how or where to do it."
I have read plenty of Moo stories about backyard Kotex burials and their fishing the clump out of the toilet, but I don't recall any where they keep the remains of the clump in a jar in the refrigerator next to the green olives and pickle jars. FLUSH the damned thing already, please.:headbrick

If YOU are the "exception" to what I am saying, then why does my commentary bother you so much?
I don't hate your kids, I HATE YOU!

these freaks eat the placenta- eat lil fetus, too! Put `im in a stew!
Reminds me of a joke...
Why are water-births so popular?
So that if it's born dead, you can make soup!

"A child will make two dishes at an entertainment for friends, and when the family dines alone, the fore or hind quarter will make a reasonable dish, and seasoned with a little pepper or salt, will be very good boiled on the fourth day, especially in winter." -Jonathan Swift, A Modest Proposal
Here are some ideas:
Dry it out and turn it into fetus jerky
Turn it into a pencil topper (doubles as an eraser)
Pose it in a funny stance, put tiny sunglasses / sombrero / fishing pole with a sign "Gone Fishin'"
Turn it into a dog chew-toy
Makes for great silly-putty when it's still pliable! See if you can copy Archie's comics on it!
Give it to someone as a Secret Santa Xmas Gag gift at the office party.
(It's sure to make everyone at the office party gag)
Turn it into a halloween decoration.
There. That should keep mooo busy for hours.

This is from many years ago, on ASCF, so the memory is vague, but - I swear - someone (had to be a crafty cow) sold resin kits for women to preserve "forever after" their miscarried clots. I tried to google search but couldn't come up with anything. Still it followed the same principle as kits for dried flowers
I guess Clot could be preserved as a pendant ("held close to Mommy's heart") or maybe a fob on a key chain. Every time you go to start the SMooV, little Clotina is there, swinging with the rhythm of the road.
