The funeral of South Australian woman Kirsty Boden, who was killed in the London Bridge terror attack, will be held next week as her partner announced almost $24,000 will be donated to charities in her name.

Ms Boden's family and friends will farewell the "Angel of London Bridge" in her Riverland home town on Monday at a service at the Loxton Swimming Pool.

An online fundraiser set up by her partner James Hodder has raised $A23,471 in donations, which will go to charities reflecting Ms Boden's interests, The Adelaide Advertiser reports.

On a fundraiser page, Mr Hodder said "Kirsty would be smiling" as he thanked people for their generosity.

Ms Boden, 28, and fellow Australian Sara Zelenak, 21, died when three terrorists in a van ploughed into pedestrians on London Bridge before stabbing revellers in Borough Market.

Ms Boden's parents Christina and Ken Boden, brother Chris and Mr Hodder will join other relatives and friends at the Loxton pool for a service to commemorate her life and she will be buried at the nearby cemetery.
