They've got to face some direction. West is a direction.From what I can tell, there's a bit of a bias towards an east/west orientation for graves just because the sun rises in the east and sets in the west, so in many places it was common to bury people so that should they wake up some morning (nobody ever said customs had to make sense) they'd be facing the rising sun.Headstones are usually placed at the head of the body (hence the name). That means, at least by my definition of "facing", they'd be facing east, not west.

Twilight is when the sun is below the horizon- either has not yet risen, or has just set. Civil twilight- what most people mean when they say twilight- the sun is no more than 6 degrees below the horizon. There is also nautical twilight, where the sun can be as much as 12 degrees below the horizon. That time is used by sailors to take "sightings" on stars with a sextant for navigation. In Nautical twilight, you can see stars, but there is still a visible horizon to use in your sightings.
