Funeral item that may require a DJ? (5,3)
I believe the answer is:
black tie
I believe this clue is a double definition.
'funeral item' is the first definition.
(item worn at a funeral)
'that may require a dj?' is the second definition.
(DJ for dinner jacket)
(Other definitions for black tie that I've seen before include "Accompaniment of 11" , "Formal (neck)wear" , "Formal evening wear for men" , "expensive party-going habit" , "Formal attire" .)
