The family has asked that instead of wreaths, contributions be made to charities instead, the labour ministry announced.
Emilianidou spent three weeks in a medically induced coma in the ICU of the Ygeia medical centre in Athens after suffering a cerebral aneurism on May 15. She was transported there by emergency air-ambulance for treatment, where she underwent a lengthy surgery.
Her body was returned to the island late on Wednesday afternoon.
