Roel Lauwerier has done quite a bit along that vein, try these:
Lauwerier, R. C. G. M. (1983). "A meal for the dead: animal bone finds in Roman graves." Palaeohistoria 25: 184-193.
Lauwerier, R. C. G. M. (1993). "Bird remains in Roman graves." Archeofauna 2: 75-82.
Lauwerier, R. C. G. M. and W. A. M. Hessing (1992). "Men, horses and the Miss Blanche effect: Roman horse burials in a cemetery at Kesteren, The Netherlands." Helenium 32(1-2): 78-109
These might also be of interest:
Davis, S. (in press). "'Thou shalt take of the ram... the right thigh; for it is a ram of consecration...' some zoo-archaeological examples of body-part preferences." [maybe Simon, if he is reading this, can send you a copy of this v. interesting article?]
Mashkour, M. (1998). "Le sacrifice animal dans le temple de l'E. Babbar de Larsa (Irak) à la période Hellenistique: témoignage des vestiges osseux." Anthropozoologica 27: 51-78.

Subject: [ZOOARCH] Animal remains in mortuary contexts
Hello Zooarch:
I am attempting to track down references to the analyses of animal remains
from mortuary contexts, particularly those in Europe and North Asia. I am
particularly interested in theoretical approaches to understanding of
these remains. Any leads or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Robert Losey
