I believe the answer is:

awaken

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

'come to' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

'at a funeral party midevening' is the wordplay.
'at' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'funeral party' becomes 'wake' (a wake is a gathering after a funeral).
'midevening' becomes 'n' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should believe this answer much more).
'a' put next to 'wake' is 'awake'.
'awake'+'n'='AWAKEN'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for awaken that I've seen before include "Rouse (a feeling)" , "Call forth" , "Come alive" , "Stir" , "Arouse" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
