Shoppers planning to visit Westquay are being advised to contact individual stores before travelling to the centre.
A Westquay spokesperson said: "The centre will be open on Monday and will be operating Bank Holiday hours.
"Some stores have chosen to close and we are continually updating our website to reflect this. However, we also have some essential retailers who plan to open as there are customers who rely on this service."
The Queen's funeral, expected to be attended by 2,000 guests, will take place at Westminster Abbey at 11am.
Following the service, at about 12.15pm, the Queen's coffin will travel from the abbey to Wellington Arch, at London's Hyde Park Corner.
It will then be transferred to the new State Hearse for its final journey to Windsor Castle.
Nationally it is down to individual retailers whether they open or not.
