Money needed for memorial (5)
I believe the answer is:
brass
I believe this is a double definition.
'money' is the first definition.
(I've seen this before)
'for memorial' is the second definition.
(brass is a kind of memorial)
'needed' acts as a link.
(Other definitions for brass that I've seen before include "Baggage" , "One making a living from tricks" , "impudence" , "Metal - cheek" , "Metal alloy" .)
