I'm very sorry to hear abut the loss of Molly.
In a do-it-yourself cremation, you will not be able to generate the temperatures of the "real thing" (i.e. hot enough to convert bone to ash). Depending on local fire regulations, you could burn her body in a campfire, allowing her minerals and nutrients to pass into the soil and back into nature, but you will likely have the potentially distressing sight of the charred body.
You did put a lot of time and effort into her; here's hoping you have the chance to try again and have the experience of a healthy animal.
