Ritualistic bonfire (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

pyre

(Other definitions for pyre that I've seen before include "Heap of wood for ritually burning a body" , "A funeral fire for 27 Down" , "Pile of wood for burning a dead body" , "Pile of wood for burning as at ancient funeral" , "Wood for a funeral fire" .)

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