Lifeboat volunteers will form a guard of honour for the funeral of a "gentle giant" crew member who died at the age of 35.
Ben Hirst's coffin will be carried on Rhyl's inshore lifeboat during a procession, which will also see mourners observe a minute's silence.
The dad, who was affectionately nicknamed "Ding Dong" after one of the Rhyl lifeboat crew referred to him as "Big Ben", and had represented Wales as a finalist for Britain's Strongest Man, died on December 22.
His heroism had twice featured in the Daily Post for coming to the rescue of both his partner's daughter when she stopped breathing and a teenager who was hit by a car - not to mention the lives he saved at sea.
A tribute released by the RNLI just before Christmas said: "Ben was a very popular member of the lifeboat crew at Rhyl.
"One of the true gentle giants of this world, Ben would go out of his way to help anyone who asked.
"An ever-present character at the station, Ben will be sorely missed."
Ben had been a volunteer crew member on both the inshore and all-weather lifeboats at Rhyl for more than four years.
His funeral will take place on Wednesday, January 16, at St Thomas' Church, Rhyl, at 11.15am after his coffin is carried from the chapel of rest at Tong's in Brighton Road at 10.15am.
The cortege will proceed to the lifeboat station where a minute silence will be observed.
It will then travel to the church for the service accompanied by a guard of honour.
Some crew members and family will bear Ben in and out of the church before he is taken to St Asaph Crematorium.
A "celebration of Ben's life" will take place afterwards at Elwy Hall.
Family members asked for people to do "one final thing for Ben" by giving him "the most amazing send off" possible.
