Buried within medieval archives is the story of Joan of Leeds \u2013 a nun who faked her own death in order to run away and live a wanton life. Professor Sarah Rees Jones of York University tells Edward the story. And why not everyone wants to be cremated even though we\u2019re running out of space for burials - Professor Douglas Davies, director of Durham University\u2019s Centre of Death and Life Studies and Mohamed Omer, board member of \u2018Gardens of Peace\u2019 the largest dedicated Muslim cemetery in the country discuss the theological reasons for burial. Following our special programme from Lagos last weekend we hear the latest results and predictions from Mayeni Jones in Nigeria.
