Berra, who has been as beloved for his charisma off the field as his skill on it, died on Sept. 22 of natural causes. He was 90 years old.
"While we mourn the loss of our father, grandfather and great-grandfather, we know he is at peace with Mom," his family said in a statement.
"We celebrate his remarkable life, and are thankful he meant so much to so many. He will truly be missed."
Flags will be lowered in New Jersey on Tuesday in Berra's memory.
