Click here for the Yearly Membership Application
For Yearly Membership the application must be accompanied by the initial dues payment and a $75 initiation fee. This secures your current membership and the right to execute a contract. Dues under Yearly Membership are $120 per year, but can be paid in quarterly installments of $35, in advance. If dues are not paid when owing, membership l apses and contracts for future cryopreservation are not in force (all contracts for present cryopreservation remain in force). Yearly Membership members have voting rights after three years if dues are up-to-date.
Membership fees are not refundable or transferable to another person, in whole or in part.
For Yearly Membership members, minimum contract funding is $35,000 (whole-body), a one-time payment approximately at time of death or earlier, by life insurance or other means specified in the contract. For Members not living in southeast Michigan additonal money will need to be allocated to pay a local funeral director and for shipment to Michigan.
Yearly Membership members may switch to Lifetime Membership at any time, by paying the $1,250 Lifetime membership fee. If Yearly Member decides to covert to a Lifetime Membership, all Yearly Membership payments paid in the year prior to the conversion date can be counted toward the one-time Lifetime Membership fee of $1,250.00. This means that the $75.00 Initiation Fee can only be applied to the Lifetime Membership fee during the first year of Yearly Membership.
Membership in CI currently includes a subscription to LONG LIFE: LONGEVITY THROUGH TECHNOLOGY magazine, (formerly called THE IMMORTALIST) although this may not always be the case in the future.
In point form, to begin your Yearly Membership you must:
- Pay a $75 initiation fee.
- Make the first dues payment, which could be $35 for the first quarter or $120 for the first year.
- Complete and submit the Yearly Membership Application Form.
The order of the steps does not matter. If you pay by credit card or check you would combine steps (1) and (2) with a payment of $110 or $195. If you pay by PayPal you could combine the first two steps or you could make a direct $75 initiation fee payment to CIHQ@aol.com and then create a subscription (see below) for the first dues payment. If you FAX your membership application to (586) 792−7062 your membership can begin as soon as the FAX is received (if you have already completed payment), but CI would still want you to mail (or hand-deliver) the original application form with the original signature.
