'''Memorials''' are buildings which can be built from the {{k|b}}uild menu under {{k|Alt}}+{{k|s}}. To create one, you first need to order a blank [[slab]] at a [[mason's workshop]] ({{k|a}}, {{k|Alt}}+{{k|s}}), then order an [[Engraver]] to make the unengraved slab into a memorial at a [[craftsdwarf's workshop]] ({{k|a}}, {{k|Alt}}+{{k|s}}). When placing the memorial (listed under 'slab' in the build menu), hitting 'x' on the materials menu will expand the list and let you pick which specific memorial you want. Once engraved, they can be built as an alternative to [[coffin]]s - failure to memorialize or entomb a deceased dwarf may lead to [[ghost|unexpected consequences]]. If you're having trouble finding which slab you want to place, use {{k|x}} to expand the list and find named or blank slabs. | '''Memorials''' are buildings which can be built from the {{k|b}}uild menu under {{k|Alt}}+{{k|s}}.

Oddly, it is also possible to engrave memorials to [[goblin|invaders]], [[forgotten beast]]s, and even ''merchant [[wagon]]s'' (not just the merchants, but the wagon itself!). This can be used to create trophy halls full of goblin skeletons and weapons, or to memorialize a deceased warrior's [[kill list]] inside of his tomb. | Oddly, it is also possible to engrave memorials to [[goblin|invaders]], [[forgotten beast]]s, and even ''merchant [[wagon]]s'' (not just the merchants, but the wagon itself!).
