What to do with my embryo

Hello, I miscarried at home at ten weeks nine years ago and I was so traumatised that the embryo was so developed and human like (fingers, toes, face etc) that I put it in a small jewellery box, and have kept it ever since. I've no idea what to do with it now. I'm always in rented accommodation so I can't 'bury it in my garden' and it's in a box so I can't but it in a plant pot or anything.
Everytime I think about it I just shut down which is why it's taken me this long to even think about it.
What have you done/would you do?

is there anything else in the box? What do you want to do?

I'm so sorry for your loss.

Have you considered getting the remains cremated? Some hospitals offer this. The Miscarriage Association has this guidance: www.miscarriageassociation.org.uk/information/management-of-miscarriage/after-the-miscarriage/.
