Subject: RE: Grave Orientation From: LaWanda Date: May 25, 1998 I've been reading the comments about graves facing east-west. I do not think that most 'civil' cemeteries place the graves at random. It is still the custom to orient graves east-west with the head of the deceased to the west - thus, when rising up on Judgment Day, they will be facing the East. Also, the wife's name is supposed to be on the left side of the stone. If it is on the right (and the stone was lettered correctly), then the stone is at the foot of the grave and not the head.
