Dicky says our bones are here (7)
I believe the answer is:
ossuary
'bones are here' is the definition.
'dicky says our' is the wordplay.
'dicky' indicates an anagram (dicky can mean ill or non-functioning).
'says'+'our'='saysour'
'saysour' with letters rearranged gives 'OSSUARY'.
(Another definition for ossuary that I've seen is " Container or room for the bones of dead people".)
I've seen this clue in The Independent.
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
