Slabs are buildings which can be built from the build menu under Alt+slab (this is also how one selects memorials, using the x key). They can be made using one stone at the mason's workshop. Once made at the mason's workshop, they can be made into memorials at a craftsdwarf's workshop by an Engraver.

Slabs are also used as signs in adventurer mode.

You can create a sculpture garden from a slab's query menu. Unlike statues, slabs do not block movement.

In adventurer mode, slabs engraved with the secrets of life and death can be found in necromancer towers, guarded by an undead army. To read them, you need to pick them up with g, enter advanced interaction menu with Shift+I, select the slab, select a to read it and voila! You can raise the dead too. Basic reading skills are required to do this, so make sure to start your adventurer with some reading skill.

An engraved slab can be read in fortress mode using t enter v and contains information on the arrival and death of the creature. If it slayed any important figures or fortress dwarves, it may be noted on the slab as well.

Note: If you're not sure how a dwarf or creature died, engraving and placing a slab may reveal it. In the case of military action, the killer is listed at the end of the entry. If, for example, a drawbrige atom smashed your dwarf, that will be the engraved folly.
