The reality television star, who died of cancer yesterday, is said to have given the job of planning her funeral to one of her bridesmaids before she married last month.
"But within a minute she was saying she didn't want that and she did want this and how she wanted it to be. It will be a celebration, but of course there will be a lot of tears," her publicist Max Clifford said.
"It will be very much a Jade Goody production with Jade doing her own thing her own way."
Goody is said to have requested a convoy of seven cars, including a Daimler used by the late Queen Mother, to take her from her home to the St. John The Baptist Church in Buckhurst Hill.
Large television screens are expected to be erected outside the church for fans and well-wishers to watch the ceremony.
Meanwhile, hundreds of people have been leaving flowers and paying their respects to the star outside her home.
