The cars will continue along Pontefract Lane towards the crematorium
However, members of the public are asked to leave at this part of the journey so the Burrow family can have a few moments to themselves before arriving at the crematorium for the service.
A joint statement from the family and Leeds Rhinos, said: “Entry to the crematorium and service will be for invited guests only and the purpose of publishing the route is to give the public the chance to pay their respects before allowing Rob’s family and friends to grieve his loss in private.
“We hope everyone can respect these wishes. There will be no live streaming of the service.”
Members of the public are asked to be in position from 1pm on the day.
