Stand for a coffin before burial (4)

I believe the answer is:

bier

(Other definitions for bier that I've seen before include "Frame for carrying the dead" , "One supports stiff" , "Coffin-stand" , "Stand supporting a coffin before burial" , "Funereal frame" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
