Most of our members plan this years in advance. But some families only find us when a loved one has days, or even hours, left. If that’s your situation, this page explains what happens next and what it costs.
To proceed with a last-minute case, we require a non-refuntable administrative fee of €5,000.
The first call costs nothing. If you decide to go ahead with a last-minute case, there is a non-refundable administrative fee of €5,000, which is deducted in full from the cost of cryopreservation.
We don’t charge for the first conversation. We’ll tell you whether we can take the case. If we can, we’ll explain the procedure, go through the documents and consents we need, and tell you what has to be arranged locally before our team can dispatch.
If you want us to go ahead, we’ll ask you to pay €5,000. That money covers the work that starts the moment you say yes. We put the team together, plan the standby and arrange transport to our facility in Switzerland. The fee is non-refundable.
The €5,000 is deducted in full from the cost of cryopreservation, which is €230,000 for whole body or €115,000 for brain only.
A signed statement from a witnesses confirming the person's wish to be cryopreserved.
The cryopreservation contract. It sets out the procedure, the chosen option and the full cost, with the case fee already deducted.
Pay the €5,000 only after the first call, once we have confirmed the case is feasible and you want us to proceed. We start the same day.
