Mr Chittenden is due to be cremated in Ireland before his remains are returned to Canada.
It comes as a dispute has emerged between the organisers of last weekend's Ironman event and the triathlon governing body.
Triathlon Ireland said on Monday its officials did not sanction the race because of adverse conditions.
However, organisers Ironman Ireland said on Tuesday that was not communicated to on-site officials until "several hours after the swim was completed".
