The funeral is being held in the New South Wales town of Macksville where Hughes grew up.
Brisbane City Council has agreed to screen the funeral from 12.30pm to 3.15pm.
Three cricketers including Test captain Michael Clarke will be pall bearers at the funeral.
Australian opener Aaron Finch and South Australia's Tom Cooper will also help family and friends carry the coffin from the main hall at Macksville High School.
Hughes' father Greg, the cricketer's brother Jason and Macksville locals Corey Ireland, Mitchell Lonergan and Matthew Day will be the other pall bearers.
It is expected that people who live in Macksville will pause to pay their respects to the 25-year-old cricketer who died after a freak accident while playing cricket last week.
Test cricketers, former players and team mates are all expected in Macksville to farewell Hughes.
