I’ve passed by several jewish cemeteries in my neighborhood, and I’ve noticed that their gravestones are all right next to each other. It would support the rumor that they are buried standing up, although I am not sure if that is true. All I know is that the stones are much too close to each other to allow room for horizontal burial. Maybe they cremate the bodies?
