Sharif family members said arrangements were being made to bring Ms. Nawaz’s body to Lahore, the family hometown, for burial. The funeral will be held on Friday, according to members of Mr. Sharif’s political party. They said Mr. Sharif and his daughter would be allowed to attend. Ms. Nawaz was a steadfast companion of her husband, who was prime minister three times but never completed a full term. After a 1999 military coup in which Mr. Sharif was ousted and sent to prison, Ms. Nawaz led a powerful campaign for his release.
