Prigozhin, 62, was confirmed dead by Russian authorities after genetic analysis of 10 bodies found in crashed plane on 23 August near Moscow .
The Kremlin has denied speculation it was to blame for The Crash .
But A Number of Russia Watchers - both in the country and Abroad - have described Prigozhin as a " Dead Man walking" since an aborted armed mutiny he led back in June.
All 10 People - including Prigozhin's right-hand man Dmitry Utkin - died in The Crash in the Tver region, north-west of Moscow .
The Wagner press service gave The Information about Prigozhin's funeral in a short statement on Telegram on Tuesday.
It provided no further details.

Mr Putin stayed silent for nearly 24 hours after The Crash . The Following day he sent his condolences to the families of all The Victims .

In June, Prigozhin - Once a Putin loyalist - led the rebellion against The Top Two Generals of The Russian armed forces.
His mercenaries took control of the southern Russian city of Rostov-on-Don, and were marching on Moscow - Only halting The Mutiny about 200km (125 miles) from the capital.
Mr Putin at The Time described the rebellion as " treachery" and a " stab in the back" but a deal was later struck for Wagner fighters either to join Russian regular army units or move to Belarus, a Russian ally.
