Well, we will certainly have to decide now how we would like to proceed. I'd prefer to keep the same characters if possible, rather than introducing new ones when something like this happens. You're all high enough in level and rich enough that finding some sort of raising magic shouldn't be out of the question.
If it doesn't work out for some reason (i.e. those living aren't willing to fork over the gold, which would be understandable), we can investigate other options. Let me know what you all think as we continue on here.

The only problem is that since we haven't found any treasure yet, the only way we could afford to bring them back is to sell our starting equipment. That would surely be a setback. The other thing is that, quite frankly, I'm not sure how our characters in-game would decide to handle it. Maybe there was some pact between the party as to what to do in case of death, but of course, any such pact would now be created post hoc. One simplistic, and probably grossly unfair, way to handle it would be to just sell the equipment of the character as necessary to raise them. Of course that is unbalancing from a gaming perspective. But otherwise, I'm not sure.

Other options include having the players make new characters. I certainly wouldn't expect to just continue on without them. As you can see, the adventure is plenty hard even with 6 PCs.
There are also the things such as what Dichotomy suggested, selling equipment, etc. The party could attempt to bargain with clergy in town, perhaps performing a service for them. They could return to Helen and request money up front now... and, here's a little spoiler, you'll find at least some treasure when you search the giant, etc.
