Smith, 39, died after she was found unconscious in her suite at the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel and Casino in Hollywood last month. Tests have still not determined the cause of death.
Her representatives hope the funeral will mark the end of weeks of legal wrangling over where her body will be finally laid to rest.
She will be buried beside her 20-year-old son Daniel, who died of a suspected overdose last year.
A memorial service will be held at Mount Horeb Baptist Church and she will be buried at Lakeview Memorial Gardens, also in the islands' capital.
The funeral, expected to attract about 300 mourners, will feature large amounts of pink flowers.
The church was being decorated with pink peonies, pink roses, stargazers and white calla lilies.
Smith was being buried with a tiara on her head and wearing a pink dress designed by her friends Pol Atteu and Patrik Simpson.
Each mourner will pen a note of tribute on a pink heart to be buried with her.
