Jade Goody’s mother and husband set a date for the Brit reality star’s memorial service. Thousands of mourners are expected to descend upon  St. John the Baptist church in Buckhurst Hill in Essex, England on April 4 to say goodbye to Jade.

A 21-car funeral procession will leave Goody’s home in Essex at noon that Saturday en route to the service at St. John the Baptist church in Buckhurst Hill, the BBC reports. Large, outdoor TV screens will be set up for the occasion.

The church service is expected to commence with Goody’s favorite hymn, “All Things Bright and Beautiful,” and the 27-year-old will then be laid to rest in Epping Forest Burial Park in North Weald.

Jade died of cervical cancer on Sunday, just seven months after being diagnosed. She left behind two sons, Bobby, five, and Freddie, four.
