Why Do Graves Face West? by Cypress042(op): 9:41am On Feb 07, 2023
As a guy who's been to countless burial ceremonies for fun and refreshments, i must commend their wonderful jollof rice tho grin

But my observation recently is that dead bodies are buried with their feet facing the entrance of their home.

Making me to wonder, is there a specific direction that graves should face? Why do graves always face the entrance of a building?

his mom is right. During lying in state, a dead person's feet is positioned outward and towards the entrance. We that are still living our legs must be positioned inward
