I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'put with dead bodies' is the definition.
'entomb' can be an answer for 'put' (thesaurus). I'm not sure about the 'with dead bodies' bit.

'cryptic note by doctor' is the wordplay.
'cryptic' is an anagram indicator (a cryptic or obscure order of the letters).
'by' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'doctor' becomes 'mb' (Bachelor of Medicine, Medicinae Baccalaureus).
'note' anagrammed gives 'ento'.
'ento'+'mb'='ENTOMB'
