2013. It was narrated from Sa'eed bin Hishām bin 'Āmir that his father said: "On the day of Uhud some of the people among the Muslims were killed, and people were wounded. The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: 'Dig graves and make them wide, and bury two or three in a grave, and put the one who knew more Qur'ān in first.'" (Sahīh)
2011 - أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ مَعْمَرٍ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا وَهْبُ بْنُ جَرِيرٍ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا أَبِي، قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ حُمَيْدَ بْنَ هِلَالٍ، عَنْ سَعْدِ بْنِ هِشَامِ بْنِ عَامِرٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، قَالَ: لَمَّا كَانَ يَوْمُ أُحُدٍ أُصِيبَ مَنْ أُصِيبَ مِنَ الْمُسْلِمِينَ، وَأَصَابَ النَّاسَ جِرَاحَاتٌ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «احْفِرُوا وَأَوْسِعُوا، وَادْفِنُوا الِاثْنَيْنِ وَالثَّلَاثَةَ فِي الْقَبْرِ، وَقَدِّمُوا أَكْثَرَهُمْ قُرْآنًا»

Burying in a spacious or wide grave would be relatively easier, and the body would remain protected from being desecrated and from earth falling down. This is, therefore, commendable.
