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."
