It is very likely that many of the early Christians followed the first-century Jewish practice of placing the bones of their dead in ossuaries, or bone boxes. Certainly, by the third century, we find a widespread Christian practice of using the catacombs for storage of the dead, a practice not unlike the use of ossuaries.
Romans could bury or burn their dead, but at different times one practice was preferred over another, and family preferences were the deciding factor. The pagan Romans were deeply religious and would have treated their dead with due respect.
