I have looked at a grave site today, and am interested in this particular site which is located on a slope which faces some houses and the ocean. On the left side of the grave spot are mountains. The site is facing NE. Is this a good site?

Dear Lisa,
In general, (I really have to say this) because, one has to be physically present to analyse the site even though you have given some description of the site:
Here are some guidelines:-
1. Is this site an existing burial site. If it is an existing, can you find out more if this site has ever being Feng Shuied before?
2. If the question above is Yes (it has been Feng Shuied before) than try to find out who actually Feng Shuied the site? We do not want the site to be said to be Feng Shuied but the result is it is " Feng Shuied " by people from the Black Hat Sect.
3. If it has been Feng Shui especially a Chinese Teochew Master, then usually you can be rest assured that; the Teochew Feng Shui Masters - most of the time can really find excellent sites. They have a nose of finding the choicest sites.
4. Usually, the south facing slopes are the preferred locations. Much similiar to the traditional model of the Four Symbolic Animals. Where the frontage is at the South.
5. However, this may not be that practical considering nowadays, land scarcity and not all land areas face South.
6. Overall, from your description, it is good for the grave site to face the ocean.
7. If it does cross-path with say `living homes' then these homes which lay directly with the North-East to South-West alignment; may have to use `some' protection as this NE to SW alignment (this straight line) will be unfavourable to those living in the homes.
8. In particular, if any of these homes cross path at NE-SW and further still, if their main door orientates at NE or SW; may have to change it.
9. Overall, if I read correctly, I believe, the houses you mentioned should be more than 5 km away. The safety zone (between this cross-path) should be greater than 5 km.
10. Sorry for the side-track: In one of my past Feng Shui audit: This house I was doing Feng Shui was in a direct alignment NE-SW with a temple (housing the burnt remains or ashes) of loved ones.
Although this house is 4 KM away from the temple; unfortunately, it has `cross-path' with it as the living room area and some bedrooms are in a straight line NE to SW alignment. When I used a Luopan, especially at the ground level along this NE-SW alignment, the centre compass turns many rounds. (Indicating - activity).
Warmest Regards,
Cecil
P.S. This is not compulsory, but if you do have e.g. photos of the site, it would be of great help to further understand the existing site.
