How easy is it to break a cryonics contract?

The concept doesn't apply; you stop paying dues to one org, pay dues to a different org instead, fill out new paperwork and change the beneficiary on your life insurance.

The main thing, I would say, is to get the life insurance now - though signing up for cryo at the last minute is also difficult, so again, sign up with CI for now (membership dues and costs cheaper) and then worry later about switching to a local Australian org if one gets started.

It's my perception, if you pay up front at CI, you can get your money back, no problem. But that's bad if your spouse wants the money, and has you cremated. Can't speak for Alcor...
