Presumably that depends on whether the risk precludes getting frozen. If you die of donating-a-kidney, I assume you’re most likely to die in a hospital. I also assume that a hospital is one of the best possible places to die, provided they know you’re signed up for cryonics and they have the appropriate equipment. (I can think of plausible worlds in which both of these assumptions are false.)
With the combination of bureaucratic inertia and the medical establishment’s prejudice against cryonics, I’d expect a hospital is actually one of the worst places for a prompt suspension. This is without looking at any data, though.
Alcor recommends a hospice that has a track record of cooperating with cryonics arrangements. Otherwise, generally anywhere that you can be monitored by a standby team and taken directly to the cryonics facility without delay.

What would better places be?
