Description
why are military headstones all facing west?
Many of the private monuments in the national cemetery face west, in the opposite direction of government furnished headstones. This is in accordance with a RELIGIOUS CUSTOM in some communities to bury the dead with the feet to the east so that on Resurrection Day the body will arise facing east. The inscription is facing west as it is believed that a person, when reading the headstone, would be in a proper position (facing east) to say a prayer for the deceased.
