Came to a funeral gathering with Edward (8)
I believe the answer is:
awakened
'came to' is the definition.
(to come to is to wake up)
'a funeral gathering with edward' is the wordplay.
'funeral gathering' becomes 'wake' (gathering after a funeral).
'with' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'edward' becomes 'ned'.
'a'+'wake'+'ned'='AWAKENED'
(Other definitions for awakened that I've seen before include "had stirring effect" , "stirred" , "Woke up" , "Roused from sleep" , "Aroused from sleep" .)
