Magic or practices used to oppose or counteract necromancy (communication with or animation of the dead).
From counter- (against) + necromancy (from Greek nekros, 'dead,' + manteia, 'divination'). A fantasy and occult studies term, also used metaphorically in literature.
Fantasy literature loves the concept of counternecromancy—if evil wizards can raise undead armies, good wizards need powerful magic to banish them, creating an eternal supernatural arms race.
