Yes, indeed that in Buddhism,
facing west means nirvana.
My beliefs is that facing west will not harm the deceased soil who
had not gone for rebirth yet as east is the rising of the sun and
the starting of the day. Spirits does not comes out during the day
and west means the ending of a day and starting of night. So when
the sun sets at west, they know that there are safe to come out.
so this will not harm them and their long-lasting homes, their
grave.

4 muslim graves which are in the christian (in case u dont know 4

reasons).
