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.
