Different culture's have directions for the head to be facing when they are buried.. East is a direction favoured by quite a few as this is the direction of sunrise.. In my local cemetery all the heads are facing West... I think that followers of Islam are buried with their heads pointed towards Mecca.. I am not sure as to the direction though... Blessed Be...

Sorry, never heard that one before. In most of the cemeteries in my area (that I can think of anyway), the graves are pointing east and west. Some heads pointing east and others pointing west.
Creepy superstition though. Luckily I sleep with my head toward the south!!!

I have heard the superstition about not sleeping with you feet pointing directly out the door as that's the way they carry out the dead but nothing about directions.

no longer in my neck of the woods. we are fortunate to get them interior the floor in any respect in iciness because of fact the floor is frozen. My mattress faces north, however the community cemetery buries them East-West. prepare your serious questioning and you will comprehend that it extremely is in basic terms a superstition that can not probably have any result on your existence or wellbeing. .
