Animate Dead, Dread Return, Fated Return, Stitch Together, and Living Death are all pretty good.

Sorry, Praetor's Counsel only returns your GY to your hand, my bad.

Omeros: that's how it stays so cheap! :)
Thought of some more...
Geth, Lord of the Vault: opponent's GY

There, those should get you started. Obviously some are better than others.

Possibly Grave Betrayal for opponent's critters or Nim Deathmantle too for your own. Okay, this time I'm really done.

Corpse Dance and Dawn of the Dead
Everyone forgets these two, but they're fantastic. Combine them with some sac outlets and you can reuse creatures' ETB, LTB, and combat triggers over and over and over. Plus, Corpse Dance is completely un-disruptable if nobody has countermagic.
Mimic Vat is another one that has some cool niche uses.

Corpse Dance on Fleshbag Marauder was how an early version of my Meren deck became infamous.

Focus on built-in reusability, and things the others didn't mention.
Disturbed Burial (slow)
Grim Harvest (tricky to use)
Deadbridge Chant -> stuff comes back for free, and fuels the use of any other reanimation tools you might already have

Tortured Existence is another favorite of mine. Pitch a fatty or nasty ETB critter from your hand to the GY, pick-up a utility critter or w/e from the GY. Then use Animate Dead/Reanimate the big nasty you pitched earlier. Viola, 6-8 cmc reduced to ~2-3 cmc.
