I am interested in how people bury their dwarves when the poor souls die.
I usually apply a moderate effort unless I am in the process of building a mega-construction which prevents me from doing so.

The description after the colon is just an example to help you decide where your method fits in.

[Skorpion]

Minimal-low: Stuck in a stockpile to rot down to dwarf bones and skulls for emergency use as crafts.
Since, yanno, someone's gotta pay for dwarven skull totems.

Maybe I should make/assign coffins...
Nah.

Hell, maybe I can sell people human or elf totems?

EDIT: Drowned dwarves are left to rot in the water. As yet unknown how to fish the buggers out.

[Plank of Wood]

Moderate effort for soldiers, Low effort for regular dorfs and maximum effort for Dwarves who perform epicness.

[Christes]

Low effort for my normal games.

I was shocked when I saw moderate effort in place in the Halltraded game.

[socially_inept_butterfly]

Low Effort with High Effort if I think you're cool.

[Ashery]

Current fort is/will be somewhere around high or high-maximum.

The fort itself is almost entirely above ground, while the catacombs go down ten z levels below the bottom storage level of the fort. The rooms themselves won't be overly extravagant for most dwarves (At least for now...once the fort gets large enough, I might out of boredom), but the overall design of the catacombs is something that I'm quite fond of.

Will be a while before I finish enough of the catacombs to post the design on the DFMA, however...

[Eldin]

Moderate. Normal dorfs get little 1*2 cells, coffin and door. Dwarves I like get 3*2 with some furniture and smooth walls & floors. Exceptional dwarves (epic actions, legendaries) get 3*3 fully engraved.

Am I the only one that has these tombs lining the hallways?

[Solara]

Moderate effort for regular dorfs, High for the original seven, champions, fey moods that produce especially badass artifacts, and anyone else who does something to stand out in a good way.

My original miner who singlehandedly digs out the entire fortress sometimes gets Maximum treatment.

Too bad you can't actually make those. At least not last time I checked.

[brainfire]

What, you've never placed a graveyard stockpile?

[A_Fey_Dwarf]

No you can't make things out of dwarf bones or skulls.

[Foa]

Minimal, and maximum for the truly excellently epic.

[slink]

No you can't make things out of dwarf bones or skulls.

They'll do it if they get in a weird enough mood.

[A_Fey_Dwarf]

Alright you just convinced me to move my graveyard stockpile directly underneath the workshops in my current fort. I hope I get some adamantine hammers spiked with dwarf bones.

[BlakeKoris]

Low to Maximum, depending.

Urists get a coffin in the regular graveyard. The starting seven get Moderate, as do most of the nobles.

Do something EXTREMELY amazing, like fight off 4-8 Siege squads on your own, and you'll get High or Maximum, depending.
