Meanwhile, I'm sitting in Europe - Ireland at the moment, though I will likely go back to Scandinavia in a few years - and completely failing to find anything that looks halfway respectable.

Moving to america would be an absolute last resort. Meanwhile, am I overlooking something? If there really isn't a good European one.. well, there should be quite a few LW readers here. Perhaps we should start one?

It seems feasible to sign up in Europe for preservation with CI or Alcor. Costs are comparable. The #1 problem is transport, the #2 problem is funeral procedures and accidental death provisions. Here's a previous discussion.

Starting a local organization seems like a much taller order. Tiny chance of success, based on what I know of the legislative and economic issues. I'm up for discussing it though.
