"The HNS (Croatian Football Association) extends its deepest and most sincere condolences to our captain and his family," it said in a statement.
The funeral is to be held on Monday.
Croatia began their Euro campaign on Sunday with a 1-0 win over Turkey.
It was not immediately clear whether Srna, 34, who produced a fine performance against the Turks, would return for the remaining two Group D matches against Czech Republic on Friday and holders Spain on June 21.
