Cryonics cost: who can afford to wait?
When people hear that cryonics can cost up to €200,000, many assume it's only for the wealthy. But real-world planning, including breakdowns and life insurance strategies, often makes preservation more accessible than expected. This article explores:

Funding cryonics via life insurance
Most people don’t pay up‑front. Instead, life insurance covers the cost:
- You take a policy (term or whole life) sized to your preservation plan
- You designate your cryonics provider as the beneficiary
- Upon legal death, insurance triggers payment and preservation begins
Typical costs start at €30–50/month for someone in their 30s looking to fund whole-body cryopreservation
Who makes this choice?
Cryonics is a serious commitment, but increasingly affordable for:
- Younger adults, who benefit most from low insurance rates
- Science-minded, rational individuals who value preservation of identity over certainty
- People planning carefully, often alongside standard end-of-life care options
- Couples or families who join together, using individual policies structured through trusts or providers
Why cost transparency matters
Clear pricing builds trust:
- Knowing what’s covered prevents unforeseen fees
- Insurance plans let even modest incomes access preservation
- Early planning avoids rushed decisions under emotional pressure
As one comparative guide shows, cryonics isn’t just for the wealthy, it’s a thoughtful extension of estate and end-of-life planning
Limitations and realities
- No human has yet been restored, so cost equals preservation, not revival
- Insurance rates rise with age and health; early enrollment helps
- Providers need long-term stability, so funding and legal structure matter
Cryonics is a long-term bet, made building by building, with clarity and foresight instead of shortcuts and hope.
Preservation as a personal choice
Cryonics isn’t for everyone, but for many, it’s the most meaningful form of planning at life’s edge:
- It respects identity and structure in ways traditional options can’t
- It can complement palliative care or hospice planning
- It gives people a sense of agency, not resignation
If you're considering cryopreservation, or wondering about its accessibility, we’re here to explain how it works, what it costs, and how to include it in your planning, without pressure, but with clarity.
