Funeral rite pile (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

pyre

(Other definitions for pyre that I've seen before include "Pile of wood for burning as at ancient funeral" , "A funeral fire for 27 Down" , "Heap of wood for ritually burning a body" , "Funereal fire" , "On which a body is burned" .)

I've seen this clue in the LA Times.
