My immediate family all know my wishes, I have a medic-alert type necklace with cryo contact info, there’s similar info in my wallet, and so on. Basically, as soon as medical professionals learn who my corpse was, which should be close to as soon as they arrive, they’ll know to contact someone who knows to tell them to put ice around my head (as a first stage in the cooling process).
By contrast, if I’m camping, then even if I stay within range of cell towers, and have arranged to call someone twice a day, then even just getting the info out that I might be in trouble (and possibly dead) will take hours-to-days, let alone finding me. (For not-quite-as-lethal accidents, I’ve got everything from a mirror that can be used as a signal mirror to a pen-style flare launcher to help point possible rescuers in my direction.)
