2012. It was narrated that Hishām
bin 'Āmir said: "We complained to the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ on the day of Uhud, saying: 'O Messenger of Allāh ﷺ, it is too difficult for us to dig a grave for each person.' The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: 'Dig graves and make them good and deep, and bury two or three in one grave.' They said: 'Who should we put in first, O Messenger of Allāh ﷺ?' He said: 'Put in first the one who knew more Qur'ān.'" He said: "My father was the third of three in one grave." (Sahīh)

Commentary
If necessity demands, more than one person may also be buried in a single grave. But it is essential that the shrouds should be separate for each one of them. However, a woman should not be buried along with a marriageable person.
