He was addressing the entire group of mourners regarding ancient pharoahs building pyramids, modern humans having parks or buildings named in their honor, and lastly, people having their bodies "chirogenically" [sic] frozen. It was the usual sales pitch for that wonderful "eternal life" humans are supposed to ascend to after death. Honestly, the crowd was understandably distraught over losing a beloved member of the family and I think I was the only one who paid attention to the mention of cryonics.
