X-Message-Number: 20844 Date: Sun, 12 Jan 2003 11:51:07 -0800 From: Kennita Watson <> Subject: cryonics funding My understanding from the dealings I've recently had with probate (sigh) is that funeral arrangements get first claim on any estate. If we can have cryonics arrangements declared as funeral arrangements, people with suitable-size estates could pay that way (if, say, there were no insurance policy, or it had lapsed). It would also allow people to get one of the "funeral expenses" insurance policies that I've heard about (which would have the added advantage of not requiring the "evidence of insurability" that seems to keep people from getting life insurance). Could someone more knowlegeable please comment?
