I have several relatives, and want to keep them alive.

There is a high likelihood of death occurring in India. As far as I can tell, no cryo-institutions in india - source

Assuming I can convince at least one of them to get on board with this, would it even be possible? I'm think freezing / transport to a facility is the only option - but if there are other ways I'd like to know.

Contact cryonics companies. If someone is familiar with the process of organizing cryopreservation of foreign citizens, it must be them. I'm aware of 3 cryonics companies worldwide:

Alcor, Cryonics Institute (USA), KrioRus (Russia)

KrioRus's prices should be the most affordable: 12000$ for neuro. Despite situated in Russia, somewhat isolated country, I remember I heard that they did cryopreserve foreign citizen. Get informed and prepared beforehand, and good luck.
