A woman in Cornwall has saved £28,000 to be frozen when she dies.
Image source, ThinkstockChrissie de Rivaz, 76, decided to be cryogenically preserved after her husband John signed up to have his body frozen on death.
With the additional costs to fly them to the US after their deaths, the cash total is close to £65,000.
She said: "I can't see any reason to just send me up the flume and I hate the idea of being buried in the ground, so why not take this chance to come back again."
Several hundred people have already paid to have their bodies cryogenically preserved in three existing facilities in the US and Russia, and there are as many as 1,250 on waiting lists.
Cryonics UK, a non-profit organisation which provides assistance to people in the UK who want their body to be frozen on death, said it has helped 10 people so far.

New figures reveal Devon is a hotspot for iron deficiency anaemia (IDA), which costs the region more than £1.2m a year - more than four times the national average.
Anaemia is a condition where the body has a low red blood cell count, resulting in less oxygen getting to organs and tissues.
Image source, PAIn 2014 there were 1,530 patients admitted to hospital with IDA across the north, east and west Devon area – this was 19% higher than in 2013 and over four times the national average.
Health experts and community leaders joined local MP Oliver Colvile in Plymouth last night to discuss ways to reduce incidence of IDA and its growing impact on the region’s A&E services.
Police have released a photo of a man they want to speak to in connection with the theft of a charity collection box in Truro.
The poppy charity box was taken from the foyer of the Royal Cornwall Hospital on 11 November, police said.
