The body of Fusilier Lee Rigby will be escorted to his regiment's garrison church for a vigil later.
The Greater Manchester soldier, of the Royal Regiment of Fusiliers, was killed in Woolwich, south-east London in May.
Drummers will escort the cortege to Bury Parish Church shortly after 16:00 BST, to be met by a guard of honour of 40 soldiers from his regiment and a service will be held for the family.
A full military funeral and private committal will take place on Friday.
The body of the 25-year-old, from Middleton, will be guarded overnight by members of his regiment.
'Country mourning'
Police and councils have designated "suitable roads" for members of the public to line once his body leaves the church after the funeral.
Speaking during Prime Minister's Questions in the Commons, David Cameron said: "We should all pay tribute to drummer Lee Rigby for his service to our country.
"We should also pay tribute to his family, to all the pain and difficulty that they are going through, and I am sure it will be a very fitting service, a very moving service on Friday and the whole country will be mourning with them."
Michael Adebolajo, 28, from Romford, east London, and Michael Adebowale, 22, from Greenwich, south-east London, are accused of Fusilier Rigby's murder.
Mr Adebolajo is also accused of the attempted murder of two police officers and possession of a firearm with intent to cause others to believe that violence would be used.
