Non-urgent surgeries and routine outpatients appointments have been postponed.
Flights at Jersey Airport will be operating as normal, and screens will be erected in the Terminal so that islanders can watch the service. While the funeral takes place, freight operations and commercial harbour activity will also be paused, Ports of Jersey has confirmed.
