Ashes container (3)
I believe the answer is:
urn
'ashes container' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
This is all the clue.
(Other definitions for urn that I've seen before include "Large vessel for making coffee or tea" , "Ossuary" , "Funereal vase" , "Vase for containing ashes" , "Vase-shaped vessel" .)
