Flowers, pictures and messages are left in tribute to Amy Winehouse 
The police are to fix a date later for the post-mortem examination into the death of Amy Winehouse.
The singer's body was found on Saturday afternoon at her home in Camden, north London, where hundreds of fans gathered over the weekend to pay tribute.
They laid flowers, cards and photos outside her home, as well as packets of cigarettes and bottles of vodka.
Police said her death at the age of 27 is "unexplained". Her family said they have been left "bereft" by their loss.
In a statement, the family added: "She leaves a gaping hole in our lives."
Winehouse's father Mitch flew back from New York where he was performing at a jazz gig.
'Musical soulmate' A spokesman for the family said the funeral would be held as soon as possible, but the post-mortem examination and police investigation have made it impossible to set a date.
The Brit and Grammy award-winner had struggled with drink and drug addiction for many years and had recently spent time in rehab.
But police have declined to say whether her death was drug-related.
Police spokesman Supt Raj Kohli said: "It would be inappropriate to speculate on the cause of death."
He added: "My sympathy extends not just to her immediate family but clearly to the thousands and millions of fans across the world."
There have been no arrests made.

The singer, who topped the charts with her album Back To Black, was found dead by a member of her security team.
Since then, tributes have poured in from her celebrity friends.
Mark Ronson, who produced Back to Black, Winehouse's second album, said: "She was my musical soulmate and like a sister to me. This is one of the saddest days of my life."
Comedian and actor Russell Brand posted a statement on his website, saying: "We have lost a beautiful and talented woman."
Brand, who has also struggled with drug addiction in the past, described one of the first times he saw her perform.
"Entering the space I saw Amy on stage with [Paul] Weller and his band; and then the awe. The awe that envelops when witnessing a genius," he said.
At the time he met Winehouse, Brand had not yet completely stopped taking drugs and he said the pair of them "shared an affliction, the disease of addiction".
Camden stage Winehouse made her last public appearance on Wednesday night when she joined her goddaughter, Dionne Bromfield, on stage at the Roundhouse in Camden.
The singer danced with 15-year-old Bromfield and encouraged the audience to buy her album in the impromptu appearance.
Just two hours after news broke of the singer's death, Bromfield took to the stage at a festival in Pontypridd in Wales and did not mention her godmother.
Music promoters said she had been under no pressure to perform and commended her professionalism.
Last month, Winehouse pulled out of a comeback tour after she was jeered during her first gig in Serbia, when she appeared to be too drunk to perform.
For 90 minutes, she mumbled through parts of songs and at times left the stage - leaving her band to fill in.
She had recently finished a course of alcohol rehabilitation in London and was under strict instructions not to drink.
Winehouse won widespread acclaim with her 2003 debut album, Frank - which was nominated for the Mercury Prize.
But it was 2006's Back to Black which brought her worldwide stardom, winning five Grammy Awards.
