I don't know how big the dog is, but based on what you've said about it being just bones, here's what I would do.....
I'd hit Office Depot and get a document box, the kind that folds into a box with a lid, with string on each end to close it with. Either that, or go to Walmart and get one of those cardboard "under the bed" boxes (they are longer, but shallower, probably easier to work with). If you buy a document box, buy one slightly bigger than you need. Line the bottom of the box with dirt. Then dig up the bones. You'll have to be careful... I buried my Dachshund in a cardboard box, wrapped in his blanket, so I'd know before I actually hit the bones that I'd reached him.... Anyway, carefully uncover the bones. Then you'll have to move them. I don't think you'll be able to do it with absolutely no disturbance, but you'll have a pretty decent chance of moving him fairly unscathed. Put him in the box on top of the dirt, then cover him lightly with more, a couple of inches should do. Then you can move him. I recommend that you rebury him in the box, don't try to take him out again. If you have to move him, the wonderful, the box will be there. If not, eventually the box will disintegrate and recycle into the earth.
