Pile of wood for a cremation (4)

I believe the answer is:

pyre

(Other definitions for pyre that I've seen before include "On which a body is burned" , "Ceremonial fire" , "Combustible pile" , "Wood for a funeral fire" , "Part of Eastern death rite" .)

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