A tomb is a room designated from a 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 nobles happy: certain nobles demand their own tomb, and the more self-important the noble is, the higher the 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.

Dwarves that have been assigned to tombs will retain all of their possessions, and other dwarves will place them in the tomb; otherwise, all of the dwarf's possessions will become unowned, likely to be claimed shortly by another dwarf.

When a dwarf dies, his possessions will be brought to his tomb, if one is assigned. Having a cabinet allows dwarves to store the objects easily, as otherwise they would be distributed one-per-square.

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 burial -- a dwarf who dies will be placed in a randomly available coffin set for burial, unless he or she has a tomb assigned.
