The future of a vacant Cumnock building could be decided next week as it goes up for sale at auction.
George Telfer Funeral Director announced its closure with a letter to customers in May.
The business had been a fixture in the town's Glaisnock Street for well over a decade, having been part of the Dignity Funeral Services group.
A note on the branch's window announced its closure, saying: "This branch is now closed.
"We apologise for any inconvenience cause.
"We continue to serve the local community with passion from your nearest branch which can be found at Peter Wilson & Sons Funeral Directors, 79 Prestwick Road, Ayr.
"For immediate support you can call us on 01292 265305.
"Thank you for your understanding."
The building is set to go up at an Allsop Property Auctions lot next week, with an online sale on Wednesday, July 17.
A guide price for the building has been set for between £55,000 and £65,000.
