    In my experience and those of others that I know, there is no custom among any Jewish group to bury the dead in a standing position. There is, however, an explicit prohibition against cremation. In Judaism, we want our bodies to be as whole and complete as possible after deathl, so that we will be complete when the Messiah comes.
