 The former England batsman's body remains in Jamaica |
Wednesday's service will be in Cape Town, where Woolmer's family live. The former England batsman's body remains in Jamaica pending a coroner's inquiry.
Woolmer was found dead in his Kingston hotel on 18 March, the day after his side lost to Ireland in the World Cup.
A team of UK police officers has now arrived in Jamaica to help the inquiry.
Pakistan service
The BBC's Peter Biles in Johannesburg says Bob Woolmer's association with Cape Town began more than 25 years ago when he first started coaching in some of the local townships.
He later emigrated to South Africa and his family has been there ever since.
His widow Gill and their two sons will attend the memorial service at the Wynberg Boys High School.
It will be led by an Anglican priest, Reverend Jerome Francis, who was himself coached by Woolmer from the age of 11.
Another memorial service has already been held in Pakistan.
In Jamaica, the three Scotland Yard detectives and a scenes-of-crime officer will review the inquiry following a formal request from the Jamaican authorities.
Scotland Yard said: "This is normal practice for a review to take place a short time after the commencement of an investigation.
"The Jamaican Constabulary Force remains the primary investigating force."
Pakistan is also sending as an observer senior police investigator Mir Zubair Mahmood, who led the investigation into the murder of US reporter Daniel Pearl in Karachi.
