I would say have him cremated. To give you and idea of what to expect, we've just lost 2 dogs in the last month and had them both cremated. We left their remains at the vets and called the crematorium. They come and get the remains and deliver the ashes in an (plain) urn in 4-7 days. We are in a large city (Montreal) so hopefully the prices will be comparable. For a 65lb dog it was $270 and a 35lb dog $220. I would expect it to be less for a tiny yorkie. All I had to do was call the crematorium and they dealt with the rest and delivered the ashes to my door. If she doesn't have a way of dropping of the remains at the vet's, tell her to call local crematoriums, they would probably pick up from her house.

Please offer my deepest condolences to your friend, I know exactly what she's going through.
