Tall vase (3)
I believe the answer is:
urn
'tall vase' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
This is all the clue.
(Other definitions for urn that I've seen before include "A large vase as for human ashes" , "Pitcher" , "Vaselike vessel on a pedestal" , "Ashes trophy" , "Pot for human ashes" .)
