Part of a Viking funeral (4)

I believe the answer is:

pyre

(Other definitions for pyre that I've seen before include "centrepiece of funerary rite" , "Part of Eastern death rite" , "Wood for a funeral fire" , "On which a corpse is burnt" , "On which a body is burned" .)

I've seen this clue in The New York Times.
