It will be open to the public on the 1st day, so fans may attend from 6-10pm.
In a Facebook post in English and Mandarin on Friday (14 July), Coco’s sister Nancy revealed the dates for her sister’s funeral to be 31 July and 1 August.
She also said the funeral services will be held at the Hong Kong Funeral Home — located in the North Point area on Hong Kong Island.
From 6-10pm on 31 July, a public vigil will take place in the main auditorium on the first floor of the building.
That’s ostensibly when fans can bid farewell to Coco for the last time.
The rest of the time, the funeral will be private, with HK01 reporting that the cremation will be on 1 August.
In her post, Nancy attached several photos of Coco with her fans.

Thus, it’s safe to say a big crowd is expected at her funeral on 31 July.
Fans from countries all over the world like Singapore, Malaysia, China and the United States (US) are planning to go to Hong Kong to send off their idol, according to Mingpao.
Meanwhile, Coco Lee fans have already organised memorials in tribute to her life.
One such event took place in Taipei on Saturday (15 July) at a beach in the Danshui area.
Those who attended were told to wear black tops and bring white LED candles, pink fluorescent sticks and white rose bouquets.
