We want people to be preserved and we’ll work things out to make sure people don’t have weird gaps in coverage like what you’re describing. As part of getting set up with us you can name a specific emergency services provider in the event you can’t be preserved by us, and we’d forward the payment if that came up.
In practice it would be pretty rare for someone to die right before they went through with MAiD, but it’s good to plan ahead.
Specifically, if someone had an Alcor membership, paid us to preserve them, then died a day before we were going to preserve them but after they had paid us, and had specified beforehand that they wanted Alcor to preserve them in that case, then we would call Alcor ourselves and get the person preserved emergency-style (and we’d be in communication beforehand in any event so everyone was on the same page).
