Summary

Hosted by Ash Kelley and Alaina Urquhart from the hit show Morbid.

When 90-year-old Laurence Pilgeram drops dead on the sidewalk outside his condo, you might think that’s the end of his story. But, really, it’s just the beginning. Because Laurence and others like him have signed up to be frozen and brought back to life in the future. And that belief will pull multiple generations of the Pilgeram family into a cryonics soap opera filled with dead pets, gold coins, grenades, fist fights, mysterious packages, family feuds, Hall of Fame baseball legends, and frozen heads — lots of frozen heads. From Wondery, comes a story about life, death, and what comes next.

It's a fresh spring day in Montana, but inside a modest white ranch house, the living room is filled with death.

1:11.5

There's a dead fox, a couple of dead coyotes and deer heads mounted on the wall. This is the Pilgrim's home.

1:20.0

Pilgrim as in Lawrence Pilgrim, the man who tried to have his wife frozen in Alcourt, the very same, but this is his son Kurt's house.

1:30.7

On this day Kurt's son Lawrence's grandson Benjamin is at home when he hears something outside.

I remember the dogs barking when he pulled up the dogs always bark when anybody pulls into the place.

Now normally the mailman delivers to the mailbox by the road, but today he's come all the way up to the front door and he's holding a package.

1:54.3

He didn't leave it at the door like what they usually do, so I was like yeah well I'm sure it's just something he's to be signed for it.

I'm thinking this is a pretty small box. It doesn't sound like it's full of tools.

2:32.2

Benjamin says thank you and as the mailman walks back to his truck, Benjamin takes a closer look at what's in his hands.

2:40.7
