Respect for your pet makes it essential to have this done professionally by a vet. A vet will be happy to wait until all the family can be present for your dog's last moments. The vet will also take the body for burial or cremation, or leave your pet with you so you can bury or have it cremated yourself. Bear in mind that when you take on the responsibility of a pet you take on responsibility for that pets death as well as its life. How you treat others - human or animal - says a great deal about you; live up to your obligations to others, as well as enjoying their interaction with you. If you are in a geographical situation where you cannot reach a vet within a humane time frame, ring a vet or animal clinic and seek their advice. They will be happy to help you, and won't send a bill (if you are sufficiently unfortunate to contact the sort of vet who'd bill you in the circumstances, hang up and call someone else; colleges and universities which teach vet science have small-animal experts who will help.) You must live with your conscience in situations like this, and also set an example to those around you. Do it right, for your own sake as well as for the sake of your dog.
