Crossed Andreev reflections and cotunneling occur between two neighbouring superconductor- normal metal or superconducting-ferromagnet interfaces. Previous works assumed a clean BCS superconductor. Here the calculation of the corresponding crossed conductance terms is generalized to a dirty superconductor. The range of the effect is shown to be the coherence length $\tilde{\xi} = \sqrt{\hbar D/\Delta}$, instead of the BCS coherence length $\xi_0$. Moreover, in three dimensions, the algebraic prefactor scales as $1/r$ instead of $1/r^2$. The calculation involves the virtual diffusion probability of quasiparticles below the superconducting gap, in the normal and the anomalous channel.
