peh-boo:

there are 2 schools of thoughts in this case:
1) hospital policy
2) folk-lore

1) hospital policy: legs out 1st instead of head in case along the way got emergency trolley crashed into the corpse trolley the legs kana chopped off 1st rather than the head flies away.
2) folk-lore: if head 1st is like other people may also follow the way since head means leader mah.

Yeah this one is correct !!!

the Taoists have strong belief of Taboo & superstitious stuffs.

Only the deads are placed facing the main door with legs pointing at it. The coffins of my grandma & dad's are placed facing e house entrance like that in the 2 funeral wakes not long ago. That was taoist ceremony, not sure if Buddhism and other religions do the same way?

We were told since young not to sleep at position with legs directly facing the door, maybe that brings bad luck?

legs facing door is known as 'coffin position' according to FS.
there are several 'cures' if your bed layout is restricted to this position; you can googled it if you are concerned.
before i was married, my bed was all along facing the bedroom door. hence i slept with my head facing the door as i remembered reading somewhere that it is better to sleep head facing door way as it is the natural way that one enters the world. when we were staying at my ILs' place where 4 of us squeezed in one bedroom and my dh had to sleep in front of the door, i also told him to sleep with head facing the door.

i heard that in hospital wards, when the dead are pushed out of the ward,
it will be in a position where the legs are pushed out of the door entrance first before the head....
don't know how true it is.

No no... I think you got me wrongly. What I mean is standing position and head down look through your leg :lol:

chatelaine:

Oh yes, one more.

Heard from someone said don't turn your head upside down and look underneath your leg at the door at midnight. :!:

Yeah I can understand why we shouldn't do this, at ANY time of the day. If I can achieve such an acrobat act, it will most likely be a permanent position for me.
