I've always seen the DF graveyard as a real graveyard, and the final resting places usually built as mausoleums. --Savok 08:26, 12 June 2008 (EDT)

Graveyard is basically a stockpile for dead bodies. It's an undignified death, but it's necessary for the greater good and future survival of the Dwarven Race. --AlexFili 11:21, 12 June 2008 (EDT)
"Graveyard is basically a stockpile for dead bodies."
True. However, we don't have anything that's like a real graveyard. There are a lot of things taken for granted and not shown: I'll stop viewing DF graveyards as more than a pile 'o bodies once you show me ≡Dwarven Feces≡. --Savok, glad that there are no Dwarven Feces, exceptional or otherwise, in DF, at 13:33, 12 June 2008 (EDT)
maybe we could have the graveyard as a 'proper' graveyard, but in the evil zones it has a chance (or a bigger chance if we affect coffins too) of the dwarves becoming zombies or skeletons. NOOOOOOOOBBLLLEESSS... --Frostedfire 03:47, 27 July 2008 (EDT)

Where's the coffin go?

For some reason I recall that buried dwarves disappear completely. Or can you dig up their coffin in the tile they were buried in? I'd try it myself, but for some reason load-game times for DF on my computer are SO slow. --Xonara 14:05, 25 October 2008 (EDT)

There is no burying. There is just rotting. If you build coffins, the dead bodies will be put in those and there will be no unhappy thoughts about the decay unless you decant them too early. -Fuzzy 18:12, 25 October 2008 (EDT)

You can remove a dead dwarf from its coffin by deconstructing it. As long as you wait for the dwarf body to decay before you do it, nobody will complain. --Sev 15:07, 26 October 2008 (EDT)
