Come to funeral party (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

wake

This clue is a double definition.

'come to' is the first definition.
(to come to is to awake from sleep or a faint)

'funeral party' is the second definition.
(a wake is a gathering after a funeral)

(Other definitions for wake that I've seen before include "Vigil held over a corpse" , "Come to - track of boat" , "Irish watch by a corpse before burial" , "Open one's eyes - funeral party" , "Ship's wash" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
