Late meetings, as scene changes (7)
I believe the answer is:
seances
'late meetings' is the definition.
(seances contact dead or 'late' people)
'as scene changes' is the wordplay.
'changes' is an anagram indicator.
'as'+'scene'='asscene'
'asscene' anagrammed gives 'SEANCES'.
(Other definitions for seances that I've seen before include "Spiritual meetings conducted by mediums." , "Spiritualist's sittings" , "Meetings of spiritualists" .)
