Watch as Coatbridge family do slosh at mum’s funeral as 'she was always last one dancing'

Linda Begg’s loved ones got to their feet for Beautiful Sunday by Daniel Boone at MacGregor Family Funeral Directors in Wishaw on Monday.

The touching tribute came after the big-hearted 65-year-old gran died on July 19 after suffering a severe stroke, which left her family devastated.

Julie wanted to celebrate her mum's life

Now her daughter, Julie Morrison, is keeping her mum’s memory alive after celebrating her life through dance.

The 42-year-old, from Coatbridge in North Lanarkshire, asked everyone to attend the funeral wearing bright colours and to avoid making it morbid.

Julie told the Glasgow Times: “My mum loved music. If she was on any night out she would be first up and the last one dancing.

“She really loved the slosh so we thought it would be good to do it at the funeral.

“We wanted to celebrate her life instead of it being morbid, especially because there were kids there.

“My wee son who is only seven done a wee dance as well and was doing impressions of her in her zimmer.

“She would have been laughing at us all. That kept us going.”

Linda loved a party

Linda, who had worked as a care assistant, had become ill after falling down the stairs and breaking her arm before the pandemic.

Her health began to deteriorate as she suffered several small strokes and became afraid to go outside in case of another fall.

Then in early July the beloved mum was struck by a severe stroke which damaged the main artery in her brain.

She was rushed to Glasgow Royal Infirmary and stayed there for a week before sadly passing away, leaving her family heartbroken.

Julie added: “She was mad and crazy and got on with anybody she met. She could talk to everyone and was always there to support people.

“We are all really missing her now. It is hard because you can’t just pick up the phone to talk to her.

“My mum looked after us very well so we wanted to do this for her.”

Julie shared a video of the family doing the slosh at the funeral on social media.

The post was liked by loved ones who said it was the “perfect way to celebrate such a brilliant woman".

Roseann Airens said: “Love this. You all done her proud and what a brilliant send off.”

Liz Dalton added: “Aw what a send off. Laughter in amongst the tears.

“I’m sure she was looking down on you all beaming with pride.”
