UPDATE: I found the marriage record for both of her weddings and they were both performed "under the forms of the Congressional Union Church."

Does this help?

It means that she will most likely be buried in a non denominational cemetery  (ie not Roman Catholic) such as those already mentioned. Given the home address and the background of the photograph I believe that the East End is more likely

Having another look at photo, to me appears to be Gallowgate in background, site of The Forge now, so E Necropolis maybe. Will have a quick look when I pass there tommorow....

Had a quick look, lot of stones turned or missing but still convinced it's right spot. So arranged to go to Mitchell Library on Monday and look at burial records. Wish me luck. Oh, side thought though can't understand why monumental mason was from Shields Rd? Anyway Will still try, it will eliminate Janefield if it's not in their books.

Cadder cemetery or even Riddrie or Lambhill cemeteries?

Hi CharonMoon,
The 1926 Glasgow Electoral Register lists a James and Mrs Beatrice Monteith living at 47 Queen Mary Street, Bridgeton so you can at least confirm those details!

Congressional Union Church
I know there is a ludicrously large number of small and breakaway religious sects in Scotland, but this is a new one on me. Could it conceivably be 'Congregational Union' rather than 'Congressional Union'?
Never trust anything you find online (especially submitted trees and transcriptions on Ancestry, MyHeritage, FindMyPast and other commercial web sites) unless it's an image of an original document - and even then be wary because errors can and do occur.
