One may expect that in a cantonment or small to medium sized village/town, they will either establish a cemetery or continue to use the existing one. However, who gets buried there is another question altogether: soldiers and camp followers would be buried in the garrison's cemetery, but enemy KIA would simply have a mass grave dug, bodies tossed in, a brief ceremony (if one's held at all), and then it's covered up. A town hit by a marauder attack and managed to repulse it would have the townspeople buried in the local cemetery or church graveyard, while the dead marauders would simply get a mass grave-dug by any marauder prisoners-before they are shot or hung and join their buddies six feet under.
