A bench perhaps in the graveyard

Ross

I believe the answer is:

resting place

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'the graveyard' is the definition.
Both the answer and definition are singular nouns.
Maybe you can see an association between them that I can't see?

'a bench perhaps in' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'a' is found in the answer.
'in' is found in the answer.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

Can you help me to learn more?

(Another definition for resting place that I've seen is " Grave".)
