Tombs can be designated from a coffin (or casket or sarcophagus), and can then be assigned to specific dwarves. This is mostly if you want to ensure where each dwarf gets buried and to make them happier - A dwarf gets a yearly happiness bonus if they have a personal tomb.
A '''tomb''' is a room designated from a [[Burial receptacle|coffin (or casket or sarcophagus)]]. A tomb can be assigned to a specific dwarf, or to no dwarf at all. The primary function of tombs is to keep [[noble]]s happy: certain nobles demand their own tomb, and the more self-important the noble is, the higher the [[room#Specific_room_quality_grades|quality]] they will require. In some circumstances a [[noble]] will get an unhappy thought if an "inferior" dwarf has a higher-quality tomb, however it is unclear what quality threshold the tomb must be to trigger the thought. Nobles may also store certain favored objects in their tombs.

If you do not designate tombs, dwarves will still be buried if you set (u)se for burial, but will now be buried in a randomly available coffin instead.
  
Dwarves that have been assigned to tombs will retain all of their possessions when they die, and other dwarves will place them in the tomb - it can be a good idea to keep a [[container|chest and cabinet]] in the tomb to ensure that all of the items fit; otherwise, all of the dwarf's possessions will be inherited by his/her spouse (if one exists) or simply become unowned.
+
Tombs will have various room grades. Read about them at the '''[[room]]'''-section.
 
 
Making a tomb for every dwarf in your fortress can be time consuming. More convenient than creating tombs for common dwarves is to designate coffins for {{k|b}}urial -- a dwarf who dies will be placed in a randomly available coffin set for burial, unless he or she has a tomb assigned.
