I'm not expert in mausoleums and crypts but I've heard that unembalmed
bodies stored above ground must be in hermetically sealed containers if
stored more than a few days. You cannot do that with liquid nitrogen; it
has to have a place to go as it evaporates and expands over 700 times in
volume. (Or if you had a tremendously strong vessel that could contain the
evaporating liquid, your contents would warm up to ambient temperature and
defeat your purpose.)

Surely a hermetically sealed container could contain the body and then the
whole system (container with body inside) could be immersed in liquid
nortogen?
