Memorials are buildings which can be built from the build menu under Alt+s. To build one, you first need a slab at the craftsdwarf's workshop, then an Engraver to make the unengraved slab into a memorial, also at the craftsdwarf's workshop. When placing the memorial (listed as '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 coffins - failure to memorialize or entomb a deceased dwarf may lead to unexpected consequences. If you're having trouble finding which slab you want to place, use x to expand the list and find named or blank slabs.

You can create a memorial hall from a memorial's query menu.

Oddly, it is also possible to engrave memorials to invaders and even forgotten beasts. 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.

Memorials apparently do not work for merchants' escorts. You should get their bodies into a coffin.
