He was injected with a solution of 15% dimethyl sulfoxide and 85% ringer’s solution, a compound once thought to be useful for long-term cryogenics. Vitrification, a process that prevents the formation of ice crystals and is now commonly used in cryopreservation, was not yet possible. This makes it unlikely that his brain was protected from ice damage, which could potentially hinder future revival attempts. Bedford’s body has been moved multiple times since his initial preservation. His body was stored at Edward Hope’s Cryo-Care facility in Phoenix, Arizona, for two years, then in 1969 moved to the Galiso facility in California. Bedford’s body was moved from Galiso in 1973 to Trans Time near Berkeley, California, until 1977, before being stored by his son for many years. It was not until 1982 that his body was moved to Alcor Life Extension Foundation, where it remains to this day. Bedford’s decision to be cryogenically preserved is highly respected within the cryonics community. In fact, the anniversary of his death and subsequent freezing, January 12, 1967, is celebrated as "Bedford Day".
