At the risk of giving Alcor free advertising, there's information on their website: http://alcor.org/BecomeMember/

They can fly patients in from non-US countries, but they recommend that patients be in the USA if they feel they have a significant risk of death because it greatly decreases the risk of brain damage during transport.

Also, most alcor members finance their preservation through health insurance. This might complicate things for your situation.
