I can't imagine what she must be going through. It's a horrible and traumatic loss.
But the people selling her on the idea thay such a thing will ever be possible are ghoulishly preying on a grieving mom. Her son is gone and will never be alive again. There's no amount of money that can change that.

Ron, Fred and George would never do something like this

Current methods cannot achieve it to begin with. Let alone once the person has been dead for days.
This. Even if cloning humans were legal, and she wanted to clone him, or freeze his deceased body to clone him in the future, she'd only have a few hours before his DNA was no longer viable for cloning.
This is just sad on so many levels.

If animal cloning after death is any indication. You have up to 48 hours after death to preserve the tissue and clone it.
I agree. Instead of freezing him, she should donate it to an anti bullying charity.
Anti bullying charity? How's that work?
Use a corpse to scare bullies obviously
