Subject: Rob Michels permafrost burial?

     Satisfying Rob Michels last wishes to be frozen at death might still
 be possible, even though chances of reanimation are unfortunately zero. 
 The coldest burial site (19 F average yearly temp) that is available
 inexpensively is at Churchill, Manitoba. According to Ben Best, Northland
 Funeral Services, which is based at Thompson, Manitoba (24. 9 F) can
 arrange for burial in Churchill. Their number is 1-204-778-7982. There is
 not much point in considering any other site. Yellowknife, NWT is 22.2 F
 and Fairbanks, Alaska is even warmer. Sites colder than Churchill are all
 on Indian burial grounds and they are rather reluctant to bury
 outsiders.
