Place for the temporary reception of the dead (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

mortuary

(Other definitions for mortuary that I've seen before include "Building for corpses prior to burial or cremation" , "Place for stiff" , "Funeral parlour" , "Temporary resting place" , "departed here?" .)

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