Sir Howard, one of the New Zealand's best known entertainers, died calmly in his bed at his Ohinemutu home on the shores of Lake Rotorua on Thursday. He was 74.
He lay at his home on Thursday night and on Friday morning is to be carried the few metres to Tamatekapua, the premier meeting house of Te Arawa, where his public tangi starts about 10am. Sir Howard will be buried alongside members of his whanau at Rotorua's Kauae memorial park on Tuesday after the 11am service.
Family spokesman and acclaimed actor Temuera Morrison said his uncle's farewell will be a "huge party of a great life".
