Taxidermists can mount snakes (gets pricey and be sure to get a highly skilled taxidermist) though generally (with reptiles) they prefer to get a very lifelike plastic model and paint it to order. Or simply tan and mount the hide flat for wall hanging. That gets into possible uses for snake skin which I'll avoid getting into right now...
Catch is, the taxidermied snake won't look like your pet. Even if done well.
There's also the possibility of donating the body to a museum for it to be mounted or preserved for education or reference. Which would require calling around, but it'd be worth it.
I don't know what I'd do. Aside from bawling my eyes out...
