Robots will do it as a hobby. It will show to an enslaved humanity, that even death won't be an escape.

The not-so-nice version of the Culture Minds working with people because they're interesting in a kind of goofy way?

Yes. They will defrost and bury them.

Unless things have gotten really bad, in which case they'll defrost and eat them.

One thing they won't bother to do, is defrost and re-animate them, because why?

Wouldn’t we if we had some prehistoric people in ice and had the technology? The whole world would want to watch.

Maybe as like a really morbid party gag. Or to progress mad science?
