It's not pretty. You have to clean out all the tissue, blood and organs. Just like cleaning a fish you caught. It has to be kept dry or the scutes will come off. Then you can varnish or otherwise polish the shell to keep it intact.

I'm sure Youtube will tell you how to do it.

I'm so sorry for your loss. It's never easy to lose them.

How about putting it in a big flower pot with soil or if you have a garden to bury it there. I am very sorry for your loss.
