NOVI, Mich. (AP) — Funeral services have been scheduled for a Michigan mother and her two sons killed by a man in what authorities believe was an apparent murder-suicide.

The Oakland Press of Pontiac says visitation for 38-year-old Jennifer Schons, 4-year-old Camden and 6-year-old Tynan will be held 5 p.m. to 8 p.m. Tuesday and 1 p.m. to 8 p.m. Wednesday at First Presbyterian Church of Brighton in Livingston County. An 11 a.m. Thursday funeral is planned at the church.

Jennifer was fatally stabbed with a knife last Friday, and her sons were suffocated. They were found dead in their beds in the family's home in Novi, about 30 miles west of Detroit.

Police believe 39-year-old Mark Schons killed his family before fatally inhaling fumes from a charcoal grill inside his sport utility vehicle.
