10a. Litter and bitter by the sound of it. (4)

I have _I_R

I think the answer is Bier; (a litter being a conveyance consisting of a chair or bed carried on two poles by bearers)
and bier: A handbarrow or portable frame on which a corpse is placed or borne to the grave.

Also bitter is beer (sounds like bier)

Am I barking up the wrong tree?

I think you are spot on.

Thanks trevor
