The statement also added: "Sinéad 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 Co Wicklow and beyond, since she left last week, to go to another place.
"The gardaí have asked that people gather, if they would like to say a last goodbye to Sinéad from 10.30am on Tuesday morning along the Bray Seafront."
The news of the singer's death stunned the nation and further afield last week after the announcement was made.
A swell of tributes flooded the internet and beyond as people across the world came to terms with the passing of a musical icon.
Giants of the music industry like Dave Grohl, Boy George and Shirley Manson all paid respects to the 56-year-old, while other public figures paid tribute, including a beautiful story from Russell Crowe about an encounter with her outside a Dublin pub.
President Michael D Higgins was also amongst the tributes to O’Connor, saying his “first reaction on hearing the news of Sinéad’s loss was to remember her extraordinarily beautiful, unique voice”.
The Dublin native had career spanning over three decades, with 10 studio albums and her single 'Nothing Compares 2 U' was named the number one world single in 1990 by the Billboard Music Awards.
