Goody, who died on Sunday aged 27, after losing her battle with cervical cancer, will be buried following a service at a church in Buckhurst Hill, Essex, on April 4, the spokesman said.
The funeral procession would leave her home in Upshire, Essex, at noon and then make its way to St John's Baptist Church, in Buckhurst Hill, via Loughton.
The spokesman said he was not yet sure where Goody would be buried and details of the service had yet to be finalised.
Goody would have been "overwhelmed" by the public's reaction to her death, her mother, Jackiey Budden, said.
Scores of well-wishers continued to lay flowers outside Goody's home. "Her response to all this would be the same as mine - overwhelmed," said Ms Budden. "It just shows how many people really did love her."
Goody's widower Jack Tweed could be forced to miss the funeral. Tweed, 21, is due to be sentenced on Thursday after being convicted of assaulting a taxi driver.
He was found guilty of attacking Stephen Wilkins in Epping, Essex, last May following a trial at Epping Magistrates' Court. Magistrates warned earlier this month that Tweed, who had denied the offence, could be jailed.
Earlier, Ms Budden collected cards attached to flowers left by the gates and said she planned to write to as many well-wishers as possible.
Katie Price became the latest celebrity to pay tribute to Goody. "I think she has been really great. I just hope that her family stay strong and stay together through it. I just hope that she has a really nice funeral," she said.
