Sacrificial fire (4)

I believe the answer is:

pyre

(Other definitions for pyre that I've seen before include "centrepiece of funerary rite" , "Funeral conflagration" , "Ceremonial fire" , "Pile of wood for burning corpse" , "Pile of wood for burning as at ancient funeral" .)

I've seen this clue in The Wall Street Journal.
