It is not biblical. However, it is a Christian custom to bury the dead with their head oriented to the west. They believe that when the call to Resurrection comes, the dead (sleeping) will rise and face Jesus. Some ordained clergy are buried with their heads facing east so when these are called, they will face all others and be ready to minister to the people.
