I second the suggestion of New Zealand. It's hard to imagine any danger
except maybe being overrun by an Asian Empire - which presumably would not
happen without plenty of advance warning. It might also be starved out of
resources during a war, resources necessary for sustaining cryonics
patients. 

ALSO on another subject - are Alcor and Cryonics Institute basically the
only two full US cryonics services now?

I heard Trans Time is no longer accepting new members, which I assume
means it is on the verge of going out of business. ACS as I understand it
does not provide full cryonics services, nor does the new south Florida
venture.
