Hi, i own 6 RES. One by one, 5 have died. I am not an owner who doesn't just dump them, having own all 6 of them for 12 years straight. The 5 of which died peacefully. I was wondering what do i do witht the dead RES. Any suggestions?

What have you done with the others? You could bury them, which is what I would probably do and a few people would preserve the shell.

I'm sorry to hear about your loss, but I'm glad you're an owner with that kind of concern. I'd take Steve's suggestion and bury the animals. You could always look for a wooden box to enclose it/them in, as well.
