The virus has a pretty short life. Immediate burial is the best route since the body will pass through fewer hands. I suppose immediate cremation is an option, but does anyone know if viable virus would be ejected before cremation was complete?

How long the ebola virus can remain active in a corpse following death is currently unknown:
The reason I was suggesting cremation was its cost and its “finality” (i.e., no one [terrorists?] digging up the corpse at night to harvest biologics with hope of spreading the disease).
