Song couple heard with others in Bury (3,2,4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

lay to rest

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'bury' is the definition.
('lay to rest' can be a synonym of 'bury')

'song couple heard with others' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'song' could be 'lay' (lay is a kind of song) and 'lay' is found in the answer.
'others' could be 'rest' (I've seen this before) and 'rest' is found in the answer.
The remaining letters 'to' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't see.
This may be the basis of clue (or it may be nonsense).

'in' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for lay to rest that I've seen before include "Maybe put in shroud" , "Finally solve" , "Inter" , "Bury" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
