    I've always heard that "most" face east because when Jesus returns, that is the direction he'll be coming from.

    • It is not true to face a dead body facing east, as the sun rises there and also as sunrise is the starting of a new life. But, it can be placed facing west, as the sun sets there and also as sunset is the ending of the life.
