Mass for the departed (7)

I believe the answer is:

requiem

'mass for the departed' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for requiem that I've seen before include "Hymn of mourning" , "Mass for the souls of the dead" , "Funeral service" , "RC mass for the dead" , "Mass for the departed" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian and the Sydney Morning Herald.
