I assume you're speaking of removing the hide/meat from the skull; under the circumstances, I would boil it off.

Soak it for a couple days, and then cut the hide and as much other tissue off as you can.
 
You can either boil (actually simmer) to remove the remaining tissues, or have somebody with beetles clean the skull.  I hav ehad some really good results simmering, but beetles are the superior method, IMO.
