A private service for family members is planned, as requested by the icon. Fans are being asked to pay tribute through social media and donations to a library founded by the deceased. This approach is in lieu of traditional gestures.

No public ceremony has been announced. A gesture of respect has been ordered by a US president, involving the lowering of flags for a period of one week.

Further details about the arrangements and reactions to the death are available from the source, including comments from notable figures and information about the icon's final days.
