In particular, something like:

Any medical facility promptly and correctly applying the biostasis protocol
will receive a grant of $100,000.

Any medical examiner waiving their legal authority to perform an autopsy
will receive a grant of $100,000 for their facility.

What one wants are sizeable incentives for everyone along the way. If Alcor
et al strongly encourage members to set up this sort of thing, and they do,
the word can be spread through the medical, legal, emergency response,
and transportation communities, so they're prepared and motivated.
