Question: What happens if you put a body in a coffin / dedicate a slab, then afterwards destroy it? Will ghosts that have been laid to rest reappear?

Yes, they will come back after a period of time.

Awwww, that's so unfair! Now I can't shove migrants under the Atom Smasher. I guess I'd better abandon the eugenics program while I'm at it.

Which is why I'm still at .16

No! No! I will not massacre my children. Instead, I'll make them corpulent on crappy mass-produced quarry bush biscuits and questionably grown mushroom alcohol, and then send them into the military when they turn 12...

Why kill migrants?

I can never get enough dwarves. Even 200 healthy adult dwarves is still not enough, my megaprojects grind to a halt due to lack of dwarves. :(

You can never have too many haulers or soldiers.

Also, I'm currently testing the NO_UNDEAD tag...
Was this with a new world or did you mod an existing world?

Sure you can shove migrants under an atom smasher--just make a lovely slab garden for the survivors

Coffins are a lot easier to manage. Just build extensive catacombs and the bodies will be handled automatically, whereas slabs require a lot of micromanagement.

If you want to kill dwarves for some reason just build a retracting bridge over a pit. Make a burrow on the bridge. Assign dwarves to burrow. Pull lever to retract bridge.

Oh, also, Ghostly Fisherdwarfs fish!

One of the best sentences ever.  Is it true?
Yes it's true. I only had it happen about 3,4 versions ago. They REALLY lag the game, so I never let a fisherdwarf go unburied again.
