One thing at a time here: The first objective is to create a storage facility for people that have been frozen elsewhere and that has already been frozen with whatever sophistication or lack of such that is available elsewhere. For pre mortem sign ups, one can - money permitting- always arrange to fly in the best possible team to wherever the death occured. Once we have a facility in place here, we could of course start recruiting volunteers and subcontractors and start training so to be able to provide still better freezing here too. An undertaker trained in embalming we can already hire and train to do simple cryonic suspensions. Hope eventually to find a local medical team that will do local suspensions.
