My town has three cemeteries. In one, the heads point west. In the second, they point east. In the third, they are pointing south. Apparantly, it's just an old wive's tale.

Not in my neck of the woods. We're lucky to get them in the ground at all in winter because the ground is frozen. My bed faces north, but the local cemetery buries them East-West.
Apply your critical thinking and you'll realize that this is just a superstition that cannot possibly have any impact on your life or health.

I doubt it. The direction in which you're buried probably depends on the layout of the cemetery. It wouldn't make sense to have a "bury them facing north" rule.

I have heard that sometimes Christians buried their dead with their head facing east as a symbol that, were they to sit up, they would see the sunrise. Kinda like when they sit up when Jesus comes back they'll see the "Son" rise. Kinda. Get it?

I think they are pointing West so that when they rise in the resurrection they will be facing East toward Jesus in the Clouds of Glory.
