Description

We dig up some stories of death and dying.  How much did it cost to get to heaven in medieval times?    What is a corpse road?  And a sin eater?   Hear about the "outcast dead" and find out why Victorian Londoners were literally dancing on a giant graveyard.  What was the necropolis railway?  Who were funeral mutes?  Which graveyard hosts a tomb time machine  And which internationally famous cemetery was invaded by vampire hunters in the 1970s.   Another half an hour of extraordinary stories.
