The term is catacomb, but only for underground burial niches. Catacombs usually had their coffins or urns in carved niches in the wall. The mass graves that most Romans used was a "columbarium" .It was a building with rows of niches in the walls where the funeral urns were put. The poor or members of the trade guilds paid a certain fee during their lifetimes for their proper burial in one of these columbaria. A family mausoleum could also be considered a mass grave.
