Miss one buried in funeral ground (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

fraulein

'miss' is the definition.
(German equivalent to 'miss')

'one buried in funeral ground' is the wordplay.
'one' becomes 'I' (Roman numeral).
'buried in' indicates putting letters inside.
'ground' is an anagram indicator ('grind' the letters into a new form).
'funeral' is an anagram of 'fraulen'.
'i' going inside 'fraulen' is 'FRAULEIN'.

(Other definitions for fraulein that I've seen before include "Berlin woman" , "German Miss" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
