Where to put them

Do I build these on a stockpile, or is the stockpile "next to" where I want to "inter" dwarves?GarrieIrons 20:48, 5 January 2008 (EST)

You build them wherever you want to put your dead. I'm not too sure what stockpile you're talking about. If you have the coffin built prior to dwarven-death, the bloke that has to haul the departed should put them directly into the coffin. I could be wrong, but I personally haven't seen a dwarf moved from graveyard "stockpile" to a coffin, and believe that if a place of burial isn't available upon death, that they won't be buried, simply hauled. I could easily be wrong on this, but that's what my experience showed me, the one time I had a dead dwarf in a graveyard that hadn't started rotting when a coffin was newly built. --Edward 03:17, 6 January 2008 (EST)

Deceased

OK, so I can build a Tomb and asign it to live citizens.

What about my poor dead woodcutter sitting outside in the dead animal repository... how do I get him appropriately interred?GarrieIrons 20:55, 5 January 2008 (EST)

Open up the q menu and press the key for 'use for burial', r I believe. The 'make tomb' option is just to make the stuck-up nobles happy about their burial arrangements. --Valdemar 21:11, 5 January 2008 (EST)

Allow Citizens

So I know that if you "q" over the built burial receptacle, you can "Allow Pets" and "Allow Citizens". I understand if you don't want pets beside your dwarves, but what is the "allow citizens" option used for? Turning it off does not seem to affect the ability to bury my dwarves.
