Standing in front of the grave

Answered as per Hanafi Fiqh by Muftionline.co.za

Q: When a person visits a grave on which side should he stand?

Bismillaah

A: He should stand in front of the deceased at the lower end of his body (i.e. near the feet).

And Allah Ta’ala (الله تعالى) knows best.

ثم من آداب الزيارة ما قالوا من أنه يأتي الزائر من قبل رجلي المتوفي لا من قبل رأسه لأنه أتعب لبصر الميت بخلاف الأول لأنه يكون مقابل بصره (رد المحتار 2/242)
