I would like to be able to assign burial chambers to creatures after they die.
I just had a stray war dog which was chained next to my entrance knock a hydra into a nearby pit.  The dog was killed in the process and the hydra wasn't really hurt, but she soon got a steel bolt shower from my marksdwarves perched bove.  After the dust settled, the dog was hauled to the refuse bin like some kind of hoary marmot corpse.  He'll probably get turned into a dog bone idol or some such, but I wish I could put him in an opulent tomb as a reward for saving my fortress.

You can't assign tombs to dead creatures (dog or dwarf), but you can allocate certain coffins for the burial of pets.  Strays will not be honored, unfortunately.

Non-pets don't get buried at all.  They are just hauled to the refuse pile.  

No one gets a tomb unless you designate one while they are alive.  I think we should be able to make a tomb for a dwarf (or a pet, or any other creature) after they have died.  For instance, my mayor (legendary record keeper, legendary mason) was killed by goblin ambush.  Then, she got stuck in some crappy coffin in the communal burial chamber rather than her own extravagant tomb just because I forgot to designate one for her while she was alive.

It seems like it would be a simple addition from the [v]iew unit screen or from the loo[k] screen when viewing remains.
