So I have memorial slabs for some of the dwarven merchants who visited. However, their corpses are still on the map, so when I create coffins and allow them for general burial (for the merchant guards), they seem to be taken by the merchants (who are already memorialized) first. Is this a bug or is it supposed to happen?

Also, I'm getting that for the guards that do get a coffin, the coffin is acting like a tomb (that is, it's allowing me to reassign it, even though the guard is already dead, but not yet buried there).

ETA: And my dwarves have brought the corpse of one of the guards back to the tomb, and the ghost is still out there, even though he's been entombed. Any ideas?

Dwarves will still want to bury a body even if it's owner has it's name engraved on a slab. Think of some random WWI soldier whose body was never found but his name was put on some monument. I bet his body won't be left to rot if it was found just because his name is already engraved

Are you sure it was the right guard? His spirit should come to rest...

Are you sure that there weren't two dead people named Lor Stettadoltar?

and make sure the body is IN the coffin. Just making them own the coffin doesn't mean the body is in there.

We can see your name if we look slightly to the left of your post. There is no need to leave your name after each and every reply.

On Topic: Have you tried deconstructing both the slabs and coffins, then rebuilding the coffins only?
