Yes! There was a feature from about 11:45am to noon on Friday on BBC Radio 5 Live (Chiles on Friday show). Catch up here: https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m0000vgh As 4000 Holes reported on the Coffin Raising in Issue 92, the show producer approached us and we managed to get them in touch with the "Bishop of Brig" who conducted the ceremony. He makes an appearance on the show. Simon Garner is also on the phone.
