Maybe there's a fix I didn't know about but I made my own script to bury the undead I had laying on their coffins and figured I'd share it.

This script fixes a current (47.04) bug (0010396) that makes undead citizens unable to be put in coffins after being re-killed. To use it select with the cursor any part of a formerly undead citizen and run `bury-undead` in the dfhack terminal. It will find all the parts of that citizen and change the `unit.flags.dwad_dwarf`boolean to true making them buryable.

It likely works on were-creatures too but I haven't gotten the chance to test it yet. I tested it successfully on the couple a undead citizens corpses I had around but then a seasonal autosave got in the way and ended testing. I don't know about any problems but if you find one let me know, it handles the exceptions that I thought to try and gives useful feedback.

save this as `bury-undead.lua`

Old but gold, this script seems like a perfect compliment for accidental deaths via the sentient-butcher auto-dead-dwarf-false script when your non-central race citizens and visitors accidentally get mulched mixed with quickly marking all parts for good measure. 

Still, clearing up zombies and were's is pretty valuable too.
