Coffin stand (4)
I believe the answer is:
bier
'coffin stand' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
This is all the clue.
(Other definitions for bier that I've seen before include "Frame to carry a dead person" , "Moving support for a coffin" , "Frame for coffin" , "Brie (anag.)" , "Support for a coffin before burial" .)
