Neither does Alcor (for good reasons). Too many legal problems and too much of a financial risk.

Cryonics Institute (http://www.cryonics.org) might be a better idea in this case. It's much cheaper and (probably) the most likely to accept such a case (though I wouldn't count on it). Also, I've heard that ACS (http://www.jps.net/cryonics/) stores brains for about $ 15,000. Otherwise, you may attempt dry ice storage for example, or buying an ultra-low temperature freezer or even a LN2 storage set (one container for storing the LN2 and one for the patient, connected by a transfer system. Sometimes such sets can be leased from LN2 suppliers).
