My pet rabbit just died, and I'm not sure how to properly dispose of the body. Is there a safe and respectful way to do this?

Ideally, you should contact your local animal control or humane society to let them know that you have a deceased pet rabbit. They will be able to advise you on the best way to dispose of the body. The simplest option would likely be burying the body in a secure location or cremating it if that is an option. It is important to take proper precautions and wear disposable gloves when handling the deceased animal as well as properly clean and sanitize any surfaces that may have come into contact with it, as rabbits can spread diseases. Be sure to avoid touching your face or any open wounds while disposing of the body.

Yes. Be sure to wrap the rabbit's body in a clean cloth or blanket, and then place it in a sealed container such as a plastic bag or an animal carrier. You can then take the container to your local veterinarian's office for disposal or to your own backyard if you have one.
