It might be beautiful, or it might be horrible, like the Revivals in Transmetropolitan:

It won't be like that. 

Hopefully not. But Transmetropolitan is set so far in the future that people have forgotten what year it even is. We cannot know what the world will be like when and if the cure for a frozen person might be discovered. It might be a utopia, but if most of human history is any indication of the future, it won't be. Maybe the people who revive the frozen are just bureaucrats doing so because it's part of a contract they signed into, and now they need the warehouse space for something else.

Surely they would be provided for in a way better than death or a homeless shelter, but one also cannot discount the possibility that they would just not be able to adjust to the new world that they find themselves in.

 

If it's going to be that bad... I'll put myself back in cold storage Otherwise, there is always voluntary death. I imagine there will be some adjustment, but it'll be the future! And you'll be alive!

Ah, you are awake.

Yes, the headache will be gone, in a few months.

Listen, due to unforseen complications this whole procedure got a bit more expensive than we thought it would be,... take this.

A pitchfork, cause you will work in organic farming from now, until you have repaid your debt.

I would expect the scientists to be more cautious... The process would be approved and insured against such things... The cryonics community is very well versed in these kinds of things and I don't think that would happen. In fact, most cryonics is paid for using life insurance. Just ask Rudi Hoffman.

Without much spoilers, you should see the ending of the movie Mr. Nobody. You will notice how come the story isn't about cryogenics, but its ending might give you a clue of how it feels to wake up in the future, in a world where...

I could think of a lot worse places to work and anything would be better than being dead

It's hard to say. Blacks were slaves for hundreds of years, you could be revived during a bad time in society like the dark ages. I like another poster's idea about being "suspended" above earth.
