Funeral arrangements for an Austin mom whose body was found in a trunk in a Houston-area home have been scheduled for Friday in Louisiana.

Heidi Broussard's body was found last week stuffed into the trunk of a car in a home near Jersey Village, according to a Houston Chronicle report. Her death has been ruled a homicide by ligature strangulation, per a Harris County medical examiner. Broussard's 3-week-old daughter, Margot Carey was found safe inside the home.

A wake is scheduled for Friday at 6 p.m. in Lake Charles, Louisiana, and funeral services are expected to take place on Saturday at 11 a.m., according to multiple media reports.

Baby Margot's father Shane Carey was reunited with his daughter earlier this week, he announced via Facebook.

The woman linked to Broussard's death was transported to a Travis County Jail earlier this week on two kidnapping charges and one charge of tampering with a corpse.
