Cirillo was shot by Michael Zehaf-Bibeau with a Winchester .30-30 rifle before he stormed into the Centre Block on Parliament Hill.

The procession route for Cirillo's funeral will be open to the public, beginning at the Argyll Commemorative Pavilion at Bayfront Park at 11 a.m. before it proceeds south along Bay Street North, east along York Boulevard and north along James Street North, concluding at Christ’s Church Cathedral. Public attendance at the church will be restricted to invited guests only.

Cirillo's casket will be carried by pallbearers. A flag, his belt, a bayonet and Cirillo's Argylls badge will be placed on top, said Col. Geordie Elms, the mayor's senior adviser of military heritage and protocol and a former commanding officer of the Argylls. An escort will lead that procession, and a party of about 40 people will follow behind, along with the rest of the regiment.

Heightened security measures will be in place Tuesday with road closures and restrictions on bags and backpacks for observers at Cirillo's funeral.  

The funeral is slated to close a large portion of downtown Hamilton to traffic as the procession carries his body to the cathedral on James Street North. 

The cathedral will be open only to family and invited guests. Other military units, service members and members of the public who want to view the funeral service can do so through a video link at FirstOntario Centre, 101 York Blvd. 

Police encourage those planning to attend the funeral to take transit. No bags or backpacks will be allowed in the centre.

Cirillo will be buried in the Field of Honour at Woodland Cemetery.
