The Christian and much-loved comedian, aged 90, died at his home in Knotty Ash, Liverpool, on Sunday night.
His funeral will be held at the Anglican landmark on 28th March at 1pm.
Canon Myles Davies, acting dean at the cathedral, said “Sir Ken was a well-known presence in our cathedral, regularly attending worship with us.
“His character and humour affected us all and we are honoured to be able to help family and friends say their farewells.”
The service will be followed by a private interment.
Full details on the funeral arrangements are expected to be announced next week.
Sir Paul McCartney, Dawn French, David Walliams and Ant and Dec were among the stars who paid tribute to the comic following his death, with ex-Beatle Sir Paul saying he had “tears of sadness”.
His widow, Lady Anne Dodd, who the funnyman married two days before he died, described him as “a most life-enhancing, brilliant, creative comedian”.
