The family will be joined by close friends and family as they remember the life of Jett Travolta, who passed away on January 2.
Senior Scientologists will conduct the service at the family's Florida estate, where they are expected to be joined by Tom Cruise, Oprah Winfrey and Kirstie Alley.
"Forget that John is a big Hollywood star. He is just a grieving father who is struggling to cope with the loss of his beloved son," a source told The Sun.
"He isn’t ready to face the public, and won’t be for some time.
"His grief is raw and it is going to take him and Kelly a long time to recover from this."
Jett's body was cremated on Monday in the Bahamas after an autopsy showed that a seizure had lead to his death.
