Just call RePet and they'll deliver a clone of your rat the same day,
including its memories.
While someone might note that storing your dead pet rat in freezer is
weird, it might not be much weirder than my solution of keeping the critter
in kitchen oven for a year for embalming for the burial. (Yeah, he's still
in there.) The possibility of cloning didn't come to my mind before it was
too late.

It does, as there's chemical activity even in ice and all organic material
will decompose even in freezer, although not very quickly. Colder the
better, some -150°C is rather good.
