Memorial to most solemn individual (10)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

gravestone

'memorial' is the definition.
(I know that gravestone is a type of memorial)

'most solemn individual' is the wordplay.
'most solemn' becomes 'gravest' ('grave' can be a synonym of 'solemn').
'individual' becomes 'one' (an individual is one person).
'gravest'+'one'='GRAVESTONE'

'to' is the link.

(Other definitions for gravestone that I've seen before include "lapidary valediction" , "superior to body" , "Churchyard memorial" , "Burial marker" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Independent.
