SALT LAKE CITY — A funeral service will be held Tuesday in Salt Lake City for Russell M. Nelson, the charismatic sentimentalist who oversaw a significant temple building boom as president of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.

Nelson led the faith up until his death in late September at the age of 101.

The funeral is expected to draw thousands of mourners to the faith's Conference Center at Temple Square. About 600 members of Nelson's family are expected to attend along with 20,000 people who quickly snapped up tickets that the church offered online within 20 minutes, said church spokesperson Doug Andersen.

The service will be broadcast on FOX 13 News, fox13now.com and the station's other digital outlets.
