This article is about an older version of DF.
To be laid to rest amongst the lifeblood of the earth is the hope of every Dwarf.

A tomb is a room designated from a Template:L. A tomb can be assigned to a specific Template:L, or to no dwarf at all. The primary function of tombs is to keep Template:Ls Template:L: certain nobles demand their own tomb, and the more self-important the noble is, the higher the Template:L they will require. In some circumstances a Template:L will get an unhappy Template:L 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 when they die, and other dwarves will place them in the tomb - it can be a good idea to keep a Template:L in the tomb to ensure that all of the items fit; otherwise, all of the dwarf's possessions will be inherited by his/her Template:L (if one exists) or simply become unowned.

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. This reduces negative thoughts and eliminates miasma. Of course, it's also important to make sure that the dwarf doing the burial isn't running into the middle of a battlefield to do so.
