Cilla Black will return back to her hometown Liverpool to be buried next to her parents.
The singer funeral, which will be officiated by Right Reverend Thomas Williams, Auxiliary Bishop of Liverpool and former Parish Priest of St Anthony's, Scotland Road, will take place on 20 August at St Mary's
Church in the suburb of Woolton, the BBC reported.
Black, who died following a stroke at the age of 72 after falling over at her Spanish home earlier this month, will be laid to rest at a private ceremony in Allerton Cemetery.
A representative said further details would be released "once all the preparations have been finalised".
