Funeral Rules in your colony.

[turnus]

So just curious, what is your Funerary Rites?

[Snownova]

The cleansing fire will consume all!

[Barley]

Cremation buildings take to long and cost energy. I build graves, strip the corpses, and then stick them in the graveyard that I then later set on fire with Molotovs. Burns the corpses and costs me nothing, but also doesn't drive people insane from rotting corpses like conventional dumping stockpiles. This graveyard/funeral pyre is also the center of my killing field: Ease of burial and lack of cover during fights.

[Thorin]

I have a few graves around, but go in the end for cremation.
When switched off, the bodies are still hauled off to a short term new home.
Later on, I will send their souls back with some smoke.

cremation just makes things much simpler. less micro-management

don't take long to set the crematory to only burn strangers and allow them to be picked up from graves

I have a graveyard for my colonees!

"proper burial" for colonists should have a positive mood effect, or cremating them a negative one, otherwise there's really no reason to dig graves other than just for kicks.

I'd love to see a formal burial feature, like a tomb/coffin/sarcophagus/casket from Dwarf Fortress or grave/stone grave from Towns. It'd be a great way to flesh out the Art feature when it's introduced.

MYBAD. I'm usually so focused on not losing a single colonist and growing the colony as much as I can (I'm interested in how far I can go scope-wise) that I really don't get to see this side of things much.

You're missing an option....
I butcher the dead and feed them to the involuntary donors on the red ward while they await the doctor.
It's kind of funny actually... my doctor is also my cook and is a cannibal. It sort of really worked out well for him...
He gets to pull out the useful bits, then carve up the rest to make nice meals before sitting down to enjoy the fruits of a hard says work.

buchered cooked and sold with the  skin making cloths

[EBrown]

Usually I let them lay where they died unless they cause me a nuisance.

Thanks,

Early game I'll just set Raiders up in a mass grave, I'll usually end up stripping them all and selling their clothes. If the piles of bodies get too massive before I research cremation then I'll set them ablaze with molotoves.

Bury all my colonists. Should a colonist die I'll usually send them off with a 21 (ish) gun salute

One more thing, i just assign a dumping zone for corpses and throw grenades at them, very clean actually.
