Actually, as Wowk pointed out last year in a response to a similar question, the trauma of cryopreservation will almost certainly prevent formation of long-term memories of "dying" moments and of whatever happened immediately before legal death. You can see examples of this in many football games: often when a quarterback gets sacked and has a concussion, and in discussing it with media afterwards, he says something like, "I can't remember a thing after the start of the game."
