Sinead will be buried today in Bray in her native Ireland with mourners invited to line the streets for a “last goodbye”.
Her cortege will pause briefly at the home on Strand Road, Montebello, where she lived for 15 years.
It will then travel along Bray seafront before the procession arrives for a private funeral service.
Floral tributes have been piling up outside the house ahead of the procession at 10.30am.
Her family said ahead of the service: “Sinead loved living in Bray and the people in it.
“With this procession, her family would like to acknowledge the outpouring of love for her from the people of County Wicklow and beyond, since she left last week to go to another place.
“The Gardai (police) have asked that people gather, if they would like to say a last goodbye to the singer, from 10.30am on Tuesday along the Bray seafront.”
The service follows several vigils held for Sinead across Ireland and the UK in the wake of her tragic death.

Police were called to the singer’s new apartment in London on the morning of July 26 following reports of an unresponsive woman.

Tragically Sinead couldn’t be saved and was declared dead at the scene shortly after.
No medical cause has been given for her death, which is not being treated as suspicious by police.
The tragedy came just 18 months after her 17-year-old son Shane took his own life.
Sinead is survived by three children – Jake, Roisin and Yeshua.
The singer was propelled to global stardom in 1990 with her version of Prince hit Nothing Compares 2 U.
She gained notoriety often during her career due to her fierce opinions on political issues, including the child abuse scandal in the Catholic Church.
Before the claims were reported, Sinead famously tore up a photo of Pope John Paul II on NBC’s Saturday Night Live show in 1992.
In 2003 she announced that she was retiring from music but continued to record new material.
Sinead continued to perform as Sinead O’Connor but changed her name to Shuhada’ Sadaqat following her conversion to Islam in 2018.
Following her death, her music management company 67 Management said she had been finishing a new album.
Sinead had also been reviewing tour dates for next year and was also considering “opportunities” around a movie of her book.
