I think personal effects are only stored in a tomb if the dwarf in question is unmarried, otherwise it becomes the property of their spouse.

[Bohandas]

I would make it optional; it'd be all sorts of rage if your masterwork adamantine plate-mail armor set got dumped in a grave and was completely unrecoverable.

Agreed.

[Phlum]

If the dead rise and are armed, it'd make it advisable to just forgo the whole arming zombies and skeletons.

This brings to mind the possibility of incarnation.

[GreatWyrmGold]

I'm not sure what Pikdome was thinking about. Nor am I certain what incarnation is. (I know what reincarnation is, but I'm fairly certain that that's different.)

I was originally thinking of this, only with more vomit, magma, and beards.

[Phlum]

Incarnation is when dead body's are burned instead of burial. I believe.

We have this thing called 'theme rules'
You can just simply dump the dead's stuffs and pretends they got buried with them.
Of course it would be a bit tempting to snatch that adamantine armor back...
Also that's called 'Cremation'
Incarnation mean the embodiment of something.

For instance Rama is the incarnation of Vishnu

No, that'd be incineration.

An incarnation is someone who embodies a god or abstract concept in flesh. If you're a Christian, for example, you believe that Jesus was an incarnation of Yahweh.

Eh, honestly, I would see the rage at having your best armour buried with a corpse to be a good thing. While I am not a supersticious person, I have something against taking things off the dead. I mean, they're ALREADY dead, they should really be given a break. Plus, dwarves getting buried with their legendary hammer/axe/sword/backpack would just... be classy.

Yes up then in the fortress's darkest hour the great gandson of that dwarf (assuming you haven't died from FPS death by then) grabs the legendary admentine sword and masterwork armor of his ancestors, and proceeds to fight off the hoards of goblins who made it through your trap-lined corridor.

[GreatWyrmGold]

First off...how do I put this?...A hoard of goblins is a bunch of goblins arranged into a big treasure pile.
Second off, I'd prefer to have access to the legendary weapons beforehand, usually. Hence my idea that you can choose what gear, etc, gets buried from a menu in the coffin. By default, it's just owned clothes and any gear they became attatched to or named, but artifacts they created, items they got kills with, gear they used, etc, would be addable.
