The event will take place at the funeral complex on Henry-Bourassa Boulevard in the provincial capital.
The former Hells Angels-affiliated organized crime figure was murdered on November 27th in front of a residential building in Charlesbourg.
He was shot at close range this morning.
The murder caused a stir in Quebec, with many considering the killing to be a pivotal moment in the world of drug trafficking.
Since then, this war between independent resellers and the Hells Angels has become widely known.
The new drug traffickers are refusing to pay the bikers' demanded 10% license fee for the drugs sold, which several analysts say is one of the main reasons for the disagreement.
Michel “Doune” Guérin had a serious criminal past. He was president of the motorcycle club “Les Mercenaires”.
He committed several drug offenses and spent several years in prison.
According to the Quebecor investigative agency, Mr. Guérin knew he was being threatened. The Sûreté du Québec had even notified him a few days before his death.
The police investigation is currently ongoing, but no suspect has yet been identified.
