Someone else overheard us and said that you just bury it in your garden, but then their friend got involved and said that you're not allowed to bury it - something to do with a new law after the foot-and-mouth-crisis. I wasn't sure about this, but I did wonder what someone who lived in a flat would do - they can't bury it anywhere, anyway. Surely you don't put a dead dog in the bin?
Can anyone on here solve this mystery for me/us? I'm from the UK but I'd be interested to see if there are cultural variations.

Laws vary based on your locality, municipality.
I've been through about 5 dog deaths in my life so far. They've happened when the dogs got seriously ill from old age and I chose to "put them down," as they say. The vet took care of the body disposals.
Then you basically go home and cry for about a week.
