In a statement issued on behalf of Gibb's family, his relatives confirmed that a service would take place on June 8, though no details about the location have been disclosed. The family requested in their statement that mourners at Gibb's funeral offer donations, rather than flowers, to two children's charities on the Isle of Man, where he was born.
