Even if one day it will be possible to revive these bodies from the scientific perspective, a huge legal problems would be involved. I mean, they are officially dead. Risk is even bigger if cryogenics became popular - combined with ever increasing population I doubt future politicians will be enthusiastic about the idea of dead people coming back to life.

Good problem to have.

"In 1894, the Times of London estimated that by 1950 every street in the city would be buried nine feet deep in horse manure. One New York prognosticator of the 1890s concluded that by 1930 the horse droppings would rise to Manhattan’s third-story windows." -Superfreakonomics

There have been legal precedents in people declared dead in absentia for centuries (e.g. people who were lost at sea, or ran away, who later reappeared). An extension to a doctor declaring someone dead when they are not would be a clear logical step.

If humanity survives long enough for revival to be possible, it will have already solved overpopulation problems, as otherwise it would have become extinct in the not-too-distant future.
