OK wait..  If I have a "DUMP" zone (a 1x1 tile) adjacent to a 1x1 channeled hole that is channeled down 100 z levels, then any corpse I designate to be dumped will be tossed down the hole and NOT stored on the actual DUMP square?

If so, then this is one of those times I will be happy to have a face palm moment.
Time to facepalm then :P
This indeed works: if there is an empty/water/magma tile next to a dumping zone, stuff will be dumped in there.

At least you didn't learn it the way I did... put a dump zone next to the very staircase my dorfs were using hauling stone up to said dump zone. I had a lot of broken bones and cracked skills before I finally figured out what was going on.

Cool Beans O0.

I had thought the idea was to use the minecarts to auto dump refuse into the magma using a corpse/refuse stockpile as the input (this is what I will use sometimes as it only requires setup once)

Pour them on magma.

For dwarves you may want to bury them, it's less hassle than slabs.

Question, should I build an entrance bridge over a refuse pit? Will the sight of the corpses scare my dorfs/train discipline?

It's a huge source of stress. Expect tantrums, likely followed by the destruction of the bridge.

Reading his name would trigger it. Thinking of him would trigger it. No other circumstances would trigger it- it was strictly related to the concept of Bill Clinton entering the conscious mind.

Is there a difference in terms of the stress caused by and priority of dumping invaders bodies? I had a wearpanda attack, dodge my weapon traps outside, then turn back into a human and immediately get slaughtered. His body (and separate head) are currently sitting in my entrance pathway, seriously disturbing migrants, yet despite being marked to dump (and I have a dump zone) they haven't been dealt with, even though I have plenty of idlers.

Check your 'o'rders menu to make sure they're told to gather refuse.  If you made the dump zone afterwards, you might have to claim and re-forbid it.

I tend to make a multi level trash chute that runs to a 3x3 room double doored and locked so as to make a recoverable trash pile. So if anything important gets dumped, it can be recovered.for dwarves, I set up a corpse stock pile, a masons shop, a storage room for coffins and a series of key shaped corridors with a coffin in each corridor. The passages get smothed and then later engraved. I've take. To making tombs for soldiers and officials just to keep them happier.

Usually the burial halls get placed below the lower layers of the active fortress (not the mines ). But definitely down in the better rocks granite, diorite, etc. I figure extensive burial halls are the sort of thing to make Durin's folks happy.

I usually design a 1 tile refuse stockpile in a garbage dumping zone.

So when I want corpse, I open the stock menu (z, then select stocks, not sure if it is the same in .34), find corpse and body parts, expand the list by pressing tab, dump those I want.
When they are done, I reclaim everthing in the stockpile and let the butchers do the rest.

Military sparring builds discipline way faster than seeing corpses.
