I think that the idea is good, and the engineering is fine for back-of-the-envelope, but can we please call it a "vault" or something instead of a grave? Cryonics already has an image problem, and we don't want to suggest the people in the grave are permanently dead.

Then we can suggest that they're temporarily dead, but they're still dead, so it's a "grave". Religions have been saying that death is temporary for thousands of years anyways, it wouldn't be anything new.
