This in my opinon is the right way to go. It is a wonderful tribute to Knut. The zoo in Verona 'Parco Natura Viva' did just this when Pippo the pygmy hippo passed. Pippo was an icon of the zoo. He was a resident since the zoo was founded and they did a life size bronze when he passed.

I think a bronze would be perfect. Knut brought so much notariaty to the zoo that he deserves to have his body laid to rest without being made a spectacle of and a bronze would give the zoo the honor of having him displayed gloriously as he should be.
