"Ana loved sparkle and colour."
The family of Ana Kriegel have asked mourners to wear "sparkle and colour" to her funeral on Thursday.
Ana (14) was tragically found dead on an abandoned property in Lucan last week, three days after being reported missing.
A 13-year-old boy has been charged with the murder of the schoolgirl and is due to appear in court this Friday.
Details of Ana's funeral have been released by her family today.
"Ana loved sparkle and colour," the family said.
"The family wish for the dress code to reflect this. Family flowers only please. Donations, if desired, to the Russian Irish Adoption Group. A donations box will be available at the Crematorium."
Ana lived with her family at Newtown Park in Leixlip, County Kildare.
A close friend of the Kriegel family, Catherine Murphy TD, said: "Ana's family are very appreciative of the solidarity that has been expressed by people.
"They have continued to ask for privacy but they are very aware of the high level of support they have been getting. It really matters to them.
"The feeling of sadness which has covered the whole area has not lifted," Ms Murphy said.
The service "celebrating Ana's life" will take place in Newlands Cross Crematorium on Thursday afternoon at 2.30pm.
