Caterer's dispenser (3)
I believe the answer is:
urn
'caterer's dispenser' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
This is the entire clue.
(Other definitions for urn that I've seen before include "Tall vase with stem" , "Spore-producing capsule of a moss" , "Holder of the Ashes?" , "Large pot for coffee or tea" , "Repository for ashes" .)
