Answer:
Calling the local animal disposal service in the area is the best advice. As far as burial is concerned, the Washington State Department of Agriculture (WSDA) permits burial within its prescribed guidelines. I've attached a link to their Livestock Disposal Manual.

Individual counties may apply additional ordinances and regulations beyond what is prescribed by the WSDA, so it is good to check with local Animal Control agency and/or Health Department.

Here is the link to the WSDA manual: http://agr.wa.gov/FoodAnimal/AnimalHealth/docs/LivestockDisposalManual10709.pdf
