I can only tell you that Jews are supposed to be buried with their heads
eastward [and feet westward]. Except in Israel, where the head is
toward Jerusalem, so that when the Messiah comes, all the dead
Jews can burrow their way (head first, underground) to Jerusalem for
the resurrection. I think--but am not certain-- that when the burial
takes place in Jerusalem, the head is supposed to be in the direction of the
Temple Mount.
