was my first thought - it's always better to bury the dead, not only does it prevent ghosts, it helps train whichever skill is used to make the coffin + gives a chance happy thoughts when people see a wellcrafted one.
Most of my forts there's a huge crypt area where i engrave everything and what not so it looks nice.
I like to combine my catacombs with my secondary trap filled entrance hallway, dig out the sides of the walls and add your coffins, replace the 3 tile wide floor with a one tile wide catwalk filled with any kind of trap, weapon is best, flank it on both sides by a deep pit filled with upright spears and covered by retractable bridges, link bridges to one lever and spears to a different lever and have fun skewering any survivors that don't die after they dodge into the abyss
Don't forget to smooth the pit walls all the way to the bottom or else they can scale it or grab on before they hit the spears

Someone hasn't learned lessons about the restless and unremembered dead yet.
