Lots of mistakes here in answers. It is the practice of cryonics that applies cryogenic temperature preservation to human brains (and their bodies sometimes). Their blood is replaced with a glycerine based solution to minimize cellular damage in the vitrification (not freezing) process. Again, they are vitrified, not frozen as there is a signficant difference between cells damaged by intracellular ice crystal formation (NOT exploding in any case) and the "flash freezing" of vitrification.
Secondly, since the 1960's, even without glycerine perfusion and the host of preperational drugs used in modern cryonics, it has been demonstrated under controlled conditions that vitrified and thawed sheep brains will SPONTANEOUSLY resume near-nomal brainwave (EEG) activity. Modern cryonicists use a variety of medical drugs to buffer the brain against damage from oxygen free radicals, from oxygen deprivation, from perfusion damage and more.
Thirdly, cryonics companies are shoe-string operations with NONE of their directors, officers or employees being rich, wealth or well-to-do. They are often unpaid volunteers (I have been on a board of directors in the past for years with zero pay and zero compensation ever). Many of these nonprofit charities rely on members to provide on-call volunteer services in the rare cryonics emergency. NOBODY is getting rich from cryonics anywhere, so that contention is sheerly ignorant and stupid. No large marketing campaigns and TV ads for cryonics can even be afforded like in the "RoboCop" sci-fi series where Hollywood portrays cryonics as large-money, corporate activities.
This is part of the image problem cryonics has in-so-much as it is often portrayed by the funeral industry as a scam of some sort, when funeral directors are always busy and quite well off as a result of death. No, cryonics is certainly not a business of the well-off, when we rely on our volunteer members, and $25k a year CEO's to go out in the field and make it happen.

I think that it is possible that they could be revived. There are types of insects that can freeze and then over time they will come back to life. But mostly It is just so that the companies can make money off of us.

Well, people who are cryogenically frozen are already dead, and all of their blood is drained. You should read up on it. Basically they have to become Frankenstein and put the blood back it to bring them back to cure the disease at all.

There are various troubles
The Culture to satanize death: Dead is a naturall part of life & the only thing must be took granted and we must learn to accept it as the most important par of life
The Hope to life no matter what Even against the dignity leran to deal with life and deth cut life an retard death i a cruel act
Te psychological Impact If everyone you know is death and you are in a time not of yours will be shoking

I never heard of this technology as being actually feasible as far as waking anyone (except in Futurama)

They will probably never be revived..
The bodies will be discarded / buried / cremated...
