The service will be private but fans who wish to pay their respects are being asked to line the streets around the ground.
The funeral arrangements were announced in a statement which also described the funeral as a ‘celebration’ of Barry’s amazing life.
They said: “As a family we would welcome fans to celebrate his life and pay their respects with us, outside of the New York stadium.
“There is an event for invited family and close friends which respectfully is private and by invite only”
“We are overwhelmed with the love and support we have received over the last few days, and thank everyone concerned!”
The choice of venue is especially special as Barry and brother Paul were honorary life presidents of the club and both supported the Millers all of their lives.
