Q12 Lincoln Crematorium LINCOLN AtoZ

    • Places & Travel

This week's show takes on a more sombre tone as we head out to a place most Lincolnites will visit at some point, one way or another - the Crematorium.  Here we meet Nick Barton, Bereavement Services Officer, the man who runs the show, so to speak, at the Crem.  Nick takes us through the process, which we thought might be quite a macabre experience, but turns out to be both reassuring and uplifting.  Later, we head out to Washingborough Road and have to choose between talking about the golf course, or continuing our musings on death in the cemetery - obviously, the cemetery wins.  Back in the studio, we get some historical context from Jo and some essential stats from Tref.  All this, plus another round of A Question Of Lincoln.
