Mr Clarke described his nieces and nephew as beautiful children who reflected their mum.

"Aaliyah, you were everything a big sister should be, brave, strong and quite bossy," Mr Clarke said.

"Laianah, you were the ratbag, the little middle. There was so much of Hannah in you. You were beautiful, sweet and caring with an amazing imagination. You were the sweetest kid and a beautiful mermaid.

"Trey, mother's little man and her best surprise.

"I am so sorry I couldn't protect you."

Among those paying tribute to the young mum, was friend Lou Farmer.

"Han was the best role model for her daughters; she knew her worth," Ms Farmer said.

"Hannah, the impact you had on people shows how special you are."

Ms Clarke’s childhood friend Nikki Brooks said she could “scarcely remember” life before or without her.

“Han was one in a million – kind and selfless, fierce but so funny,” Ms Brooks said.

“She was the yin to my yang.”

Butterfly stickers were placed on the coffin before it was carried out by Ms Clarke’s friends and family.

The service was being streamed into an adjoining cafe.

The attack that killed Ms Clarke and her family shocked the nation and has sparked calls for greater efforts to bring an end to domestic violence.

Hannah was on fire as she leapt from the driver's seat screaming "he's poured petrol on me" and people rushed to try to put out the flames.

She died in hospital hours later with burns to 97 per cent of her body.

Friends of Hannah who went to school with her told AAP she had been too scared to leave Baxter, who controlled every part of her life, as she feared he would harm her and the children.

Prime Minister Scott Morrison, Queensland Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk, Police Commissioner Katarina Carroll, senior police officers, firefighters and paramedics were among those who have gathered in the rain to pay their respects to the family.

Hannah's family asked that the details and location of the family's funeral service not be released.
