How to Freeze the Body After Death
- 1). The cryogenic freezing process comes with a steep price tag. In fact, it can cost you $125,000 for a full body freeze, and to have your brain frozen will cost you $58,000, according to rates from BBC. The intended freezee has to pay up front or have the money set aside at the time of death.
- 2). Put the body in a steel tube. Once the body is dead and stripped of any personal items such as clothing and jewelry, the body is inserted into a cylindrical steel chamber. These tubes are airtight and generally located in a lab.
- 3). Surround the steel chambers housing the bodies in another chamber that is filled with liquid nitrogen. This chamber is kept at -196 degrees Celsius.
- 4). Let liquid nitrogen freeze the body. When the body has spent adequate time in the chamber with the liquid nitrogen, it will be successfully frozen and the decaying process suspended. As the liquid nitrogen is powerful and freezes the body's cells, they will not deteriorate as is the standard case for a body after death.
- 5). Maintain conditions in the chamber. Keeping the body in the necessary -196 degree chamber is vital to keeping the body frozen. Once in this state it can be preserved for virtually however long is wished.
