Stephanie Griffin, 25, wept as she told an inquiry how eight-year-old Ciaran Williamson was discovered crushed underneath a heavy tombstone.
He had been allowed to play out for just 10 minutes when the fatal accident happened on May 26 last year.
His mum told how he’d given her a kiss, told her he loved her and then ran to play with friends at a nearby park.
Minutes later there was a knock at their door, yards from the cemetery at Moss Heights, Glasgow.
A friend of Ciaran’s told his parents he’d been hurt and step-dad Thomas McGee, 26, raced to the scene to find the schoolboy under a headstone in the cemetery.
He told the inquiry Ciaran was “lifeless” when he came across him.
Ciaran was playing with friends in Craigton Cemetery when the stone fell on him.
Miss Griffin and Mr McGee, as well as Ciaran’s dad, Ryan Williamson, 26, gave evidence at Glasgow Sheriff Court today.
The inquiry is to establish if there were any reasonable precautions that could have prevented the tragedy.
