The funeral of the two Australian two brothers killed in an ice fall at Fox Glacier will be held in Melbourne on Friday.
Ashish and Akshay Miranda were travelling with their parents Ronnie and Winnie at the time of the incident, which occurred after the two walked beyond warning signs at the Fox Glacier on January 8.
The body of Ashish, 24, was recovered immediately but the body of Akshay, 22, was buried under hundreds of tonnes of ice.
His body was found a week later last Thursday when it was sighted 10km downstream from the glacier.
It still remains with the coroner in Christchurch but the family is expecting it to be released on Wednesday.
The brothers' uncle, Cedric Miranda, told AAP on Monday that the funeral for the pair would be held at St Peter's Church, East Bentleigh, at 1pm local on Friday.
