Nine questions (about number 9)

When one has a famous Papa frozen at a cryogenics facility in Arizona, and then stiffs that facility for $111,000, should the cryogenics facility then:

1. Send an enforcer to recover the debt?
2. Sell the DNA of said famous Papa?
3. Ship the body back to the family for refusal of payment?
4. Send the body to the Baseball Hall of Fame and split the profit from those who pay to see it?
5. Send the body to a medical school to use in training doctors?
6. Preserve the brain in hopes of determining what made the body so good at what it did?
7. Leak information to the media, causing more scandal for the dysfunctional family?
8. Dump the body in an unmarked common grave?
9. Respect the wishes of the deceased and have the frozen body cremated, only this time at a notorious crematorium in Georgia?

I would be remiss if I did not mention that this whole disturbing saga reminded me of a hit-or-miss book I read recently called Driving Mr. Albert, in which the author and the pathologist who performed Einstein's autopsy drive cross country with Einstein's brain to bring to his family.

I thought grieving families were supposed to seek closure.
