“Taken far too soon and in the cruellest of ways, family and friends have been left devastated by their loss. Please donate what you can to help cover the costs of the funeral to ease the burden on the family at this difficult time.”

The page has so far collected £625, exceeding the initial target total of £500.

Following the discovery of Fiona’s body a murder investigation was launched and William Finlay (56), from Falkirk, was subsequently arrested and charged in connection with the death.

He appeared on petition, charged with murder, at Falkirk Sheriff Court last week and made no plea or declaration.

Finlay was remanded in custody and was scheduled to appear at court again at some point this month.
