One foot in the graveyard

Giles Fraser digs deep into graveyards and asks how we remember those we have loved and lost. He meets Johanna Holmes OBE, Chair of the Friends of Kensal Green Cemetery, to discover this graveyard’s hidden secrets.

He's joined by Madeleine Pennington, Head of Research at the religious think tank Theos and author of their 2023 report ‘Love, Grief and Hope – emotional responses to death and dying in the UK’, Glasgow-based author, journalist and blogger Peter Ross, author of ‘A Tomb With a View: The Stories and Glories of Graveyards’ and Rabbi Jonathan Wittenberg.
