Every respectable dwarven fortress has a developed (and occupied) catacombs system.

Burial Receptacles are Template:Ls for deceased dwarves and Template:L that are used to store their Template:Ls and other Template:L. Somewhat confusingly, they have different names depending on the material used to build them, but thankfully they all function identically and all are produced with the Burial Receptacle option via the build menu.

Usage

After the item is built, the player can access its building menu (q) to allow it to be used for burial (it defaults to No), as well as whether it should be used for citizens or pets. A burial receptacle is in use when the message, "This is the resting place of __________", is displayed, and it is possible to view its contents via the View Items in Buildings option, accessed with t.

It is important to note that the player cannot assign a burial receptacle to specific creature after they have already died. Instead, the building is automatically assigned to a dwarf/pet on a first dead, first serve basis. If the player wishes to ensure a dwarf is buried in a particular spot, then they need to create a tomb from any burial building, assigning said tomb to the dwarf in question. Remember, this can only be done while the dwarf is alive.

Actually, there is a way to get a dwarf into a particular burial receptacle: you just have to make sure that's the only one available for burial. If the dwarf as already been interred in the wrong receptacle you can deconstruct it. What you cannot do is assign a tomb to a dead dwarf.

Advantages

It is not required to bury the dead, and the player may instead choose to use the Corpses stockpile or ignore the corpse entirely.

However, friends and relatives of the deceased will receive unhappy thoughts if their loved one remains unburied, and miasma can be generated if the corpse is inside the fort. Failure to entomb or otherwise build a Template:L for a deceased dwarf may also lead to Template:L.
