The date of the funeral is also specified: January 19.
The memorial service will be held in the church (which is not specified), after which the coffin will be handed over to the Tbilisi Philharmonic, and then burial will take place.
Earlier it was reported that Kikabidze was planned to be buried in the Mtatsminda Pantheon of Georgian Writers and Public Figures, which is also located in Tbilisi.
