Leo Mugabe, the former leader’s nephew, told reporters on Friday that the decision was made after consulting with traditional chiefs.
The nephew says it will be a private family burial and that details including the day are still being worked out.
Robert Mugabe’s body is on view at a local stadium for a second day.
A stampede on Thursday injured several people trying to view it.
