Why are all the graves in a cemetery laying in the same direction?

I recently went to a cemetery to bury my aunt. I noticed that all the graves where laid the same way. What and where does it say in the Bible why we should do this?

I worked at a cemetery for 8 years. All the graves face east & west. The head is always on the west side of the grave because Jesus will come in the eastern sky so that way when the saints come forth they will come facing east to see Jesus.
