If you have a garden or backyard, bury him there. Not a big deal, I guess.

If you loved him, you can give a funeral too.

Put it in the trash I guess. I wouldn't flush it.

Why wouldn't you flush a dead snail?

The shell will get stuck in the pipe and backup your plumbing...I guess it really depends on the size of the snail shell tho..

Same reason it's unwise to flush a dead fish; it's a potential pathogen vector.

I was thinking more along the lines of a clog, but that makes sense too.

I bury my dead fish in my planter out on my front steps. No ceremony or anything, just drop them in the soil to make the plants grow in the spring !
