It was normal in Kent to bury a sheep under a new apple tree. Of course the remains would be much more widely dispersed and organics mixed with inorganics.
location: Surrey Hills, England, ex-woodland acidic sand. "Have nothing in your garden that you don't know to be useful, or believe to be beautiful."
The problem with conifers is that they show signs of stress/damage quite a while after the problem. If you saw the conifers around here last year with the drought and high temperatures, they looked like they were coping ok but several months later, when the brown was evident, we got a chorus of chainsaws removing them. From the picture it looks in pretty good health depending on how hot and dry your area had it.

Here lies the body of Dave Smith

Not a bad way to go really, I might ask someone do the same with me then I can live on in a tree.
