Per Alcor's website, it's a monthly membership fee while you're alive (rate depending on your age when you sign up) plus listing Alcor as your beneficiary on your life insurance policy.
- jaclaz 4y agoThanks, I just checked their website, and also one of the competitors (Cryonics Institute), the "alive subscription" seems like being secundary, the main part seems to be a lump sum at time of death (directly or through life insurance). No idea if those two offer exactly the same service, but surely the cited prices are very different: - Alcor 200,000 full body or 80,000 head only - Cryonics between 28,000 and 35,000 full body This latter even puts the other prices in their FAQ, to show how convenient is their offer.
