You have a lot of words to choose from!

  • catacomb
  • cemetery
  • churchyard
  • charnel house
  • columbarium
  • crypt
  • graveyard
  • mausoleum
  • necropolis
  • ossuary
  • potter's field
  • reliquiary
  • sepulchre
  • tumulus

There are other words used to denote places where remains are stored on a more temporary basis. Some of these vary in connotation of how many bodies would be stored, and this list is far from exhaustive.
