Is there a way to provide a larger than 1x1 tomb for a dwarf if he didn't have one at time of death? If a tomb is defined from a constructed unoccupied coffin, deceased dwarves are excluded from the list of dwarves when assigning it, and if "use for burial" is enabled on a constructed unoccupied coffin, a tomb cannot be defined from it once it has been occupied.

I've tried to find a way to do this myself, but can't. I'm sorry, but I don't think it can be done at all.

A handy hint, though: dwarves fill up available tombs in order of death. So, if 3 soapmakers died, then your champion, you could build three coffins anywhere, use them for burial and the soapmakers will fill them. The next coffin you use for burial will be used for the champion.

My workaround is just to construct the tomb, deconstruct the coffin that said dwarf was interred in, then construct a new coffin in the new tomb.

Since the dwarf is dead, they are unlikely to care about the room value of the tomb. Why is it important to have the tomb room designated as such? Does it influence relatives?

Sentimental value for a particularly epic death.

It is not possible to assign anything to a dead dwarf, the game gives them a coffin, or removes all their room ownerships except the tomb, this bit can not be changed by the player for now.

As for reasons to give dwarves big tombs, when you have the economy, you can assign tombs as big as you want to them, and they will get a happy thought from it, and use it to store their stuff when they get kicked out of their room.

If it's about your own sentimental value for burying a good dwarf, place his coffin in a tomb, and control what your dwarves put in his tomb by garbage zones and dump designations on what you think he should be buried with.
