What is a whole-life insurance? (Germany only)

Whole-life insurance provides lifelong coverage with fixed premiums. Part of each payment funds a cash-value account that grows tax-deferred.

How does it work?

  • Lifetime Protection: Your policy never expires as long as premiums are paid. 

  • Cash Value: Builds guaranteed savings you can borrow against or withdraw.

  • Key DisadvantagesCost: Premiums are far higher than term policies.

  • Returns & Fees: Cash-value growth is modest and reduced by fees and surrender charges.

  • Illiquidity: Accessing cash value may incur interest and reduce the death benefit.

VKB’s Kapitallebensversicherung

Versicherungskammer Bayern offers a classic whole-life plan with:


  • Level premiums and guaranteed minimum interest on cash value

  • Dividend potential based on VKB’s surplus

  • Policy loans and partial withdrawals
(Available only to German residents.)

What is a discretionary trust? (UK only)

A Discretionary Trust for cryopreservation is a specialized legal structure that serves dual purposes: covering all costs associated with your cryopreservation contract and providing financial resources for the trust owner if they are successfully revived in the future. The trust receives initial funding, uses portion of these funds to pay for cryopreservation services, then invests and grows the remaining capital over the storage period. If revival becomes possible, the accumulated funds ensure the revived person has financial resources to restart their life in whatever future time period they find themselves in, covering living expenses, adaptation costs, and other needs while trustees maintain discretionary power to allocate funds between ongoing storage costs and building this revival fund based on changing circumstances. The discretionary trust offers UK residents the most flexible and tax-efficient way to ensure your cryopreservation is properly funded, even decades into the future. Unlike direct arrangements, discretionary trusts adapt to changing circumstances, technologies, and legal requirements over the extended timeframes that cryopreservation requires.

Why choose a discretionary trust?

  • Future-Proof Protection: Trustees can adapt funding decisions as cryonics technologies and requirements evolve over potentially centuries of storage.

  • Tax Efficiency: Properly structured trusts provide significant inheritance tax advantages while keeping funds ring-fenced for cryopreservation.

  • Professional Management: Experienced trustees make informed investment and distribution decisions without rigid beneficiary constraints.

How does it work?

  • Professional Setup: Working with solicitors experienced in trust law and future-oriented planning, you'll establish a robust legal structure for cryopreservation funding.

  • Funding Strategy: Most clients fund through life insurance policies owned by the trust, ensuring immediate fund availability upon legal death while maintaining tax efficiency.

  • Long-term Management: Trustees manage investments and distributions according to your wishes, adapting to technological advances and changing circumstances.

Key Requirements

  • Multiple potential beneficiaries to meet UK legal standards

  • Professional trust deed outlining objectives and trustee powers

  • Ongoing compliance with UK trust taxation and reporting

Key Requirements

This guide is intended as a general overview only and does not constitute legal or financial advice. Discretionary trusts are complex legal arrangements, and the rules can vary depending on your circumstances, the nature of the assets, and evolving UK laws. We strongly recommend speaking to a qualified solicitor or trust specialist to ensure your trust is properly structured and compliant. Select this option in our funding setup form for further guidance, or to connect with professionals experienced in cryopreservation planning.

When to fund cryopreservation directly?

Pre-payment is a direct funding method where individuals can pay Tomorrow.bio directly for cryopreservation services, bypassing traditional insurance or trust arrangements. We accept pre-payment when a patient has a confirmed medical prognosis with life expectancy of less than 12 months. Direct payment when a patient is in critical condition or has recently passed away and immediate arrangements are required. These funding options provide certainty for cryopreservation services during time-sensitive situations when traditional long-term funding methods may not be practical or sufficient to secure the necessary services.

What do we mean with alternative funding method?

Alternative Funding Methods encompass any payment arrangements that don't fit our standard categories but can provide immediate liquidity prior to cryopreservation procedures. These are evaluated on a case-by-case basis, requiring a consultation call to assess the feasibility and structure of the proposed funding approach. If you select this option, our team will schedule a discussion to explore your specific circumstances and determine whether your proposed method meets our operational requirements.

DISCLAIMER

Last Will arrangements are not accepted as Alternative Funding Methods due to significant tax implications, potential family disputes, and operational risks. Tomorrow.bio must advance €120,000 to the Patient Care Trust immediately upon cryopreservation, but Last Will payments cannot be guaranteed or processed quickly enough to cover these upfront costs, creating an unacceptable financial risk for our organization.

FAQs

Your questions, answered

Can I switch from the monthly plan to the annual plan as a member?

Yes, you have the flexibility to switch between membership plans by contacting us at support@tomorrow.bio. We recommend considering the annual plan as it offers a significant price reduction: you save €100 compared to the monthly plan. Additionally, paying annually eliminates the hassle of monthly payments and qualifies you for a 5% discount on insurance quotes from our partner.

Can I switch from the monthly plan to the lifetime plan as a member?

Yes, you can switch from the Monthly Plan to the Lifetime Plan and in this case any payments you have already made towards your membership will be deducted from the lifetime fee of €9,999. This option provides peace of mind knowing that you have secured your membership indefinitely.

What does Tomorrow.bio’s cryopreservation include?

Accessible and transparent, our cryopreservation service is composed of 2 elements: 



Membership Fee


The Membership Fee ensures that our medical teams are available 24/7 for immediate dispatch and covers the maintenance of essential equipment such as ambulances and heart-lung machines. Additionally, all members receive a welcome box, “support from our network”, priority customer service, and exclusive member events. This fee is paid during your lifetime.



Transportation & Storage Fee

This fee covers the entire cryopreservation process. It includes dispatching our medical teams to your location, standby until the legal pronouncement of death, performing the cryopreservation procedure, transportation to our long-term storage facility in Switzerland, and indefinite storage and care. This fee is paid at the time of death.

How do I fund the transport & storage fee?

The Transport & Storage Fee can be funded through various methods: in most cases we recommend the term life insurance, a risk insurance that provides immediate and full coverage for the €200,000.00 or €75,000.00 needed.

Most of our members will live past the end of their term life insurance, so they will need to provide a funding method that can take over once the term ends: Extend the term life insurance, fund the Transport & Storage directly, a last will and testament or whole life insurance and many more.


Our team can assist you in exploring suitable options based on your individual circumstances and preferences.

I cannot afford the €50 membership fee. Do you have solutions?

We understand financial situations can vary, and we strive to make our services accessible. If you are unable to afford the standard €50/month Membership Fee, we offer a reduced rate of €25/month or €250/year upon demonstrating financial need. Please contact us to discuss your situation confidentially, and we will work together to find a suitable solution!
