Some people do bury hamsters in a large pot and plant something in that. That is not at risk of being dug up really.
Many thanks for your help, Serendipity. We put some big stones near the top, and nothing seems to have disturbed the grave. We will be planting a rose there as soon as the weather warnings about blizzards stop.
