What happened to the sci-fi term "suspended animation" ?  The company
logo could be the iconic "pause" symbol.

I'm not sure there is a way to make death deferment non-icky.  It's
probably a lot easier to sell indefinite life extension.  Maybe the
death deferment option could be a bundled into the premium left
extension package(s) available?  You know, the basic plan is a
dietitian's personalized recommendation for optimal longevity.  the
Plus package includes a clause for intervention in case of otherwise
fatal trauma where pattern/identity is preserved offline until such
time that original substrate can be repaired and reactivated or a
suitable alternate substrate is available that provides reasonable
continuity.  The Premier package includes everything offered by Plus
in addition to several upgrades that haven't even been invented yet.
