Lt. Allen's funeral will be broadcast from 5pm on Saturday evening.
"Due to current COVID-19 travel restrictions, the family of 1Lt Kenneth "Kage" Allen has requested that his funeral service be streamed publicly to ensure all those who would have liked to attend can do so virtually," RAF Lakenheath said.
Lt. Allen, who was known as Kage, arrived at the base in February and is survived by his wife and parents.
In a tribute following his death, Lt Allen's wife Hannah said her husband was her "absolute best friend".
"Kage was perfect, never been treated with more love and respect in my life", she said.
"I feel beyond blessed to have loved him in this life and can’t wait to love him for eternity."
