cryonics refund to family if autopsy???

Rib Jig's Photo Rib Jig 22 Dec 2017

if one pays Alcor full amount in advance

& then one is unable to be cryonized due

to death by accident, murder, or other event

that requires autopsy, does one's family get

anything refunded???   :mellow:  :mellow:  :mellow: What percent, if any?

(IIRC, Alcor states cryonics not possible, right?)

Thanks in advance...

Not exactly sure, I think it's never refunded. Life insurance or any other form of payment is to Alcor, and if one doesn't get preserved, money is used for research or possibly to fund another's suspension. Otherwise families would have all the incentive to ruin the chances for preservaton.

Contact Alcor. You can likely choose for it to go elsewhere or be refunded to family.
