A funeral service will be at the Eldoret Sports Club before the burial.
According to Bishop Philip Anyollo who chaired the church burial committee, the Bishop's body will be moved to the cathedral on Sunday for a special service ahead of Monday's burial.
Bishop Korir of the Eldoret diocese died suddenly at his house aged 67.
Anyollo who is chairman of the Kenya Conference of Catholic Bishops said Korir was found dead at about 6 am by priests who had gone to help him travel to Nairobi for medication at the Karen hospital.
He said Bishop Korir had been well and had just returned to the country from Europe.
Korior was one of the most prominent church leaders in the country well known as a human rights defender and peace crusader.
He is particularly remembered for housing more than 7,000 victims of the 2007/8 post election violence victims.
He ventured into difficult areas during the clashes to preach peace and reconcile communities.
