Container in the vehicles for skeletal remains (8)
I believe the answer is:
carcases
'for skeletal remains' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.
'container in the vehicles' is the wordplay.
'container' becomes 'case' (case is a kind of container).
'in' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'the vehicles' becomes 'cars' (car is a kind of vehicle).
'case' going inside 'cars' is 'CARCASES'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for carcases that I've seen before include "Dead bodies of animals" , "Bodies of dead beasts" .)
