The cost of life insurance scales with your risk of death in the covered period: if cryonics is rendered redundant then you can stop paying for the life insurance (and any cryonics membership dues) thereafter.

Redundancy would be a significant worry if, counterfactually, you had to pay a non-refundable lump sum in advance.
