Holder of ashes (3)
I believe the answer is:
urn
'holder of ashes' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
This is the entire clue.
(Other definitions for urn that I've seen before include "Vase for containing ashes" , "Tall vase with stem" , "Large pot for coffee or tea" , "tea maker" , "Large ornamental vase" .)
