The feet of the body is placed at the marker, (headstone) when buried. All this time, I have been talking to the their feet! So, why do we call the grave marker or headstone? Why not feetstone?

Who have YOU been talking to? The headstone is always placed at the head. Sometimes there's a small marker at the foot also, but the big headstone is at the head.

Headstones are placed at by the head of the deceased.
The reason headstones are placed facing east, is so at the second coming of Christ (splitting the eastern sky) they will be facing Him.

I don't know who told you the feet are placed up by the headstone, but that's not correct according to any of my experience.

I believe it is called a headstone because it contains the information about the person. "Head" implying where we store information. (Where our thoughts, ideas, brain is) It is just another name for a marker that signifies where the person is buried.
