Most herbs freeze pretty well, though cilantro is fairly volatile and really best used fresh. If you want to freeze them whole, I recommend washing the leaves, shaking them dry (no need to be super thorough; you just don't want them too sodden), spreading them on a paper-lined baking sheet (either parchment paper or wax paper), and sticking them in your freezer overnight. The next day, peel them off the paper and stick them in a plastic bag. This works well with berries too.
Another option is to pack ice cube trays full of the whole leaves, cover them with water, and freeze them.
