If anyone else dislikes Rudi the way I do (and doesn't need his help to get signed up at all), my life insurance company is pretty okay; they're called New York Life. I picked them off a list of cryo-friendly insurance companies Alcor provided in an info packet (even though I went with CI) and they have been very responsive and are willing to conduct all relevant business without the use of telephones (which criterion is part of how I narrowed down said list).

About how much work did it take you to set up your policy?

Modest, doable amounts of paperwork; and a guy came to my house to get samples and I had uncooperative veins so that took awhile.

Thanks. "Modest" and "doable" are relative; how many hours did you put in?

I wasn't timing it and am extremely prone to multitasking, so I can give you no reliable amount.

Was it more like 1 hour, 10 hours, or 100 hours?

Also, about how many days total went by between receiving the paperwork and completing it?

It was probably more like 1 hour than like 10.

I don't remember.
