I've got a corpse in my fort spreading miasma. I build a casket, placed it, designated it as open to citizens, and almost all dwarfs have the burial skill enabled. It has a description of "This is the resting place of Olon Toraltubul", which is the name on the corpse. Why is the corpse still laying around?
Why don’t the dwarves bury their dead

It sometimes takes a while for dwarfs to get around to burying their dead. The corpse eventually got moved to the casket.
