MOTHER Jackiey and widower Jack spent yesterday making final plans for Jade’s funeral — to give her the “perfect send-off”.
A cortege of 21 cars will follow the coffin from her home in Upshire, Essex, to St John the Baptist in Buckhurst Hill on Saturday April 4.
Sons Bobby and Freddie will follow the coffin — made of Royal Windsor Forest oak — to the front of the church before being seated with Jack, 21
The service will begin with Jade’s favourite hymn — All Things Bright and Beautiful.
Then best pal — bridesmaid and Living TV producer Kate Jackson — will give a reading calling for family and friends to celebrate Jade’s life.
Jade and Jack’s favourite song — Last Request by Paulo Nutini — will play at the end of the service. Jade had carefully orchestrated her funeral weeks before she passed away.
A family friend said: “Jade gave Jackiey and Jack a detailed list of things to do.
“In some ways she is organising this from beyond the grave.”
Thousands of fans are set to line the funeral route in a display of public mourning not seen since Princess Diana’s death in 1997.
Plasma screens will be put up outside the church to broadcast the ceremony to fans.
Jade, dubbed the Essex Princess, will be buried in Epping Forest Burial Park in North Weald, Essex — where she enjoyed long walks with her boys.
Spokesman Max Clifford said: “The church will be full of her friends, her family, her loved ones — but there will be lots of people lining the route.”
Jack is due to be sentenced on Thursday for assaulting a taxi driver. He is expected to apply for the hearing to be delayed or ask for funeral leave.
A Prison Service source said: “There is no question of special treatment.”

I hope Jack gets to go to the funeral. It would be really harsh if he didn't.
This is like a tieing a ribbon around all the publicity, it will probably stop after this.
Imagine how hard it would be planning your own funeral :(.
