CONWAY, S.C. (AP) -- A funeral is set for a newborn baby found dead by a highway near Myrtle Beach earlier this month.

The Myrtle Beach Sun News reports that the funeral for the infant, called Baby Boy Horry, will be held Thursday in Conway. The child's body was found in a bag thrown in a ditch by the side of South Carolina Route 544 in Horry County.

Authorities say they don't know who the parents are. There were no signs of injury and autopsy results are not expected until next year.

Police say the infant was found Dec. 4 inside a white and blue Bath and Body Works bag sold exclusively during a promotion last summer. An anonymous source has offered a reward for information on the infant.
