A poignant floral tribute in the hearse at Dundee Crematorium.
Lucille McLauchlan was a great mother who loved her children, her brother told mourners at Dundee Crematorium.
John McLauchlan said that when people said things about her he did not listen.
“She was my big sister and I loved her,” he told the 200 mourners who paid their respects to the former nurse on Tuesday.
The 48-year-old woman, who was jailed for eight years and sentenced to 500 lashes over the murder of a nursing colleague in Saudi Arabia in 1996, died after a brain haemorrhage suffered at home in Broughty Ferry last week.
The Saudi episode, from which she was later pardoned, and her other crimes were not mentioned by humanist celebrant Lorna Hanlon.
She instead focused on Lucille’s early life when a pupil at Menzieshill High School, her love of music and her devotion to her family.
Lucille was an organ donor and Ms Hanlon said a positive outcome of the tragedy is that many ill people had benefited from her pledge.
As well as John, the former nurse is survived by parents Stan and Ann and her two children.
