A host of cricket greats, including Shane Warne, will attend a service for Jenner at the Adelaide Oval.
Jenner, who died last Wednesday aged 66, played nine Test matches for Australia in the 1970s but is best remembered as a spin bowling coach.
His successful union with fellow leg spinner Warne helped Jenner return to mainstream society after serving 18 months in jail for fraud in 1988-89.
Jenner, who said he stole money to pay gambling debts, is the only Australian Test cricketer to be jailed.
The leg-spinning all-rounder suffered a major heart attack last year and had been restricted to his Adelaide home for some time.
Warne will deliver a eulogy at the evening funeral with other guests to include former Test captains Ian and Greg Chappell and Allan Border.
