Big Ben will toll to mark the beginning of the National Moment of Reflection at 8pm today.
The bell will be struck once to mark the start of the minute's silence, UK Parliament said.
It will be struck once more at 8.01pm to mark its end.
Big Ben will also ring on Monday at one-minute intervals as the funeral procession departs the service.
A muffler will be used for the bell, which reduces the impact of the sound and creates a quieter tone.
The moment of reflection is to 'reflect on the Queen's life and legacy', the UK Government said.

This comes as the public continued queuing for the final day of the lying in state in Westminster Hall, where the late monarch's coffin will remain until 6.30am on Monday.
People have been warned not to set off
