'''James Hiram Bedford''' (April 20, 1893 – [[legal death]] January 12, 1967) was an American psychology professor at the University of California, and the first person in the world who was [[Cryopreservation|cryopreserved]] in the hope of future [[revival]]. After the cryopreservation in 1967, Bedford had previously been cared for by three different companies under supervision of his family, until the [[Alcor Life Extension Foundation]] assumed the care of him in the 1980s. He remains in Alcor today.

Bedford is a [[whole-body preservation]] patient. [[Dante Brunol]], [[Robert Nelson]], and [[Robert Prehoda]] were among those who participated in Bedford's cryopreservation.

Bedford's cryopreservation occurred on January 12, 1967. For that reason, January 12 is celebrated as an unofficial holiday, known as [[James Bedford Day]], among cryonicists.
