The Lifetime Membership membership fee is a one-time payment of $1,250 for an individual or $1,875 for a couple (two in the same household). There is no extra membership fee for minor children, and that includes children who may arrive after the Lifetime membership has been arranged . Additional close family members may join with a membership fee of $625 each. Lifetime Membership is permanent, without payment of dues.

Membership confers the right to execute a contract, the right to vote once the suspension contract is confirmed to be fully funded, the right to stand for office according to the By-Laws, the right to at least annual financial statements, and the right to notices and reports of meetings.

Membership fees are not refundable or transferable, in whole or in part.

For the Lifetime Membership, minimum contract funding (whole body) is $28,000, a one-time fee payable approximately at time of legal death or earlier, by life insurance or other means specified in the contract. For Members not living in southeast Michigan additonal money will need to be allocated to pay a local funeral director and for shipment to Michigan.

Membership in CI currently includes a subscription to LONG LIFE: LONGEVITY THROUGH TECHNOLOGY magazine, (formerly called THE IMMORTALIST) although this may not always be the case in the future.

Please send in your membership application by mail with check or money order enclosed to the Cryonics Institute, 24355 Sorrentino Court, Clinton Township MI 48035 USA (payable to the Cryonics Institute). We also accept credit cards (VISA, MasterCard and American Express) by phone or via PayPal. To pay with credit card by phone, call (586) 791-5961. To pay by PayPal, visit www.paypal.com for more information. When making payments to the Cryonics Institute via Paypal, the address to pay to is CIHQ@aol.com.


For Yearly Membership the application must be accompanied by the initial dues payment and a $75 initiation fee. This secures your current membership and the right to execute a contract. Dues under Yearly Membership are $120 per year, but can be paid in quarterly installments of $35, in advance. If dues are not paid when owing, membership lapses and contracts for future cryopreservation are not in force (all contracts for present cryopreservation remain in force). Yearly Membership members have voting rights after three years if dues are up-to-date.

Membership fees are not refundable or transferable to another person, in whole or in part.

For Yearly Membership members, minimum contract funding is $35,000 (whole-body), a one-time payment approximately at time of death or earlier, by life insurance or other means specified in the contract. For Members not living in southeast Michigan additonal money will need to be allocated to pay a local funeral director and for shipment to Michigan.

Yearly Membership members may switch to Lifetime Membership at any time, by paying the $1,250 Lifetime membership fee. If Yearly Member decides to covert to a Lifetime Membership, all Yearly Membership payments paid in the year prior to the conversion date can be counted toward the one-time Lifetime Membership fee of $1,250.00. This means that the $75.00 Initiation Fee can only be applied to the Lifetime Membership fee during the first year of Yearly Membership.

Membership in CI currently includes a subscription to LONG LIFE: LONGEVITY THROUGH TECHNOLOGY magazine, (formerly called THE IMMORTALIST) although this may not always be the case in the future.

In point form, to begin your Yearly Membership you must:

(1) Pay a $75 initiation fee.

(2) Make the first dues payment, which could be $35 for the first quarter or $120 for the first year.

(3) Complete and submit the Yearly Membership Application Form.

The order of the steps does not matter. If you pay by credit card or check you would combine steps (1) and (2) with a payment of $110 or $195. If you pay by PayPal you could combine the first two steps or you could make a direct $75 initiation fee payment to CIHQ@aol.com and then create a subscription (see below) for the first dues payment. If you FAX your membership application to (586) 791−5961 your membership can begin as soon as the FAX is received (if you have already completed payment), but CI would still want you to mail (or hand-deliver) the original application form with the original signature.

You can send in your membership application by mail with check or money order enclosed to the Cryonics Institute, 24355 Sorrentino Court, Clinton Township MI 48035 USA (payable to the Cryonics Institute). We also accept credit cards (VISA, MasterCard and American Express) by phone or via PayPal. To pay with credit card by phone, call (586) 791-5961.

(You can pay the initiation fee by going to PayPal, www.paypal.com, and making a direct payment of $75 to CIHQ@aol.com.) Note that when arranging for automatic Quarterly or Yearly payment, the first Quarterly or Yearly payment is made IMMEDIATELY upon arranging for automatic payment.
