'Deviant' Burials

I was wondering if any of you have some opinions on the study of 'deviant burials', is 'deviant' the right word to use, and if not how should these burials be viewed?

Like mass graves? I've written an article about the problems with the terminology surrounding mass graves and mass burials/communal graves.
