:I'm interested to see this design, because it sounds as if you're trying to build coffins on top of a drawbridge, which I'm fairly certain is impossible. But as Mirthmanor said, easiest thing to do here would be to start a new fort and test it yourself. --[[User:Timrem|Timrem]] 01:50, 7 April 2012 (UTC)

:I would love to try it myself but I am still relatively new to the game and all of my forts enter a tantrum spiral before I can even think about building this.  As for the design,nits not so much a design as a concept.  The concept is that you have a drawbridge over magma (like the magma sea or a volcano) that you put coffins on.  When the coffins fill up you pull a lever to retract the drawbridge giving your dwarves a true Dwarven burial.  I didn't think about not being able to put coffins on draw bridges and I'm still not sure, if you can't it should still be possible to use floodgates instead, I had originally thought of using floodgates but I realized that a drawbridge was much more efficient.

Dwarven Burial Chamber

I would like someone to explore the effects of dropping coffins containing bodies into lava. If this works then you can have a chamber full of coffins on a drawbridge that resets when it fills up. But I am not sure of the effects of a coffin being destroyed after it has been filled. Obviously this isn't a good idea if ghosts still come and dwarves are still sad after the coffin is destroyed. So if someone will check what happens and tells me I will post a design. --Mariopartyboy 00:20, 7 April 2012 (UTC)
