I am unaware of any specific tradition or ritual concerning this. Certainly monuments in even the most conservative of Jewish cemeteries are placed in many directions. Presumably the deceased is placed similarly.
It is true that as a tradition, anything to do with being closer to the east, the direction Jerusalem would normally be considered an honor. (As in seats by the eastern wall of a Temple are of a higher stature)...the Torah would be that way, etc. I don't think it is an actual scriptual rule of the religion however.
AnswerMost Jewish cemeteries are set up so that the feet of the dead point toward Jerusalem.

12000 to 24000 gallons and it's a lot of fuel and i saw one of those pump burning and i know that much is possible because i was 4 to 6 far away for that pump i was feeling the rage and heat on my roof.
Thanks and have a nice day.

I am aware of at least one cemetery where some of the headstones face east and some face west. The community had members with two different traditions. One tradition said that the head of the deceased should be toward Jerusalem, while the others said that the feet should be toward Jerusalem. My rabbi's (not entirely serious) explanation was that perhaps one group thought that, upon resurrection, the dead would swim through the earth toward Jerusalem and then emerge there. Thus, head toward Jerusalem. Perhaps the other group thought that the dead would stand up upon resurrection, emerge from the earth facing Jerusalem, and then walk. Does this make sense?

Can a Jew be buried in a Jewish cemetery if they have been tattooed by a Nazi concentration camp?
Any Jew with a tattoo can be buried in a Jewish cemetery. It doesn't matter if it's a Nazi tattoo or Mickey Mouse's face. It's just a myth that Jews with tattoos can't be buried in a Jewish cemetery.This myth arose because there are a few Orthodox cemeteries that will not allow burial of people with tattoos, but these rules are cemetery rules, and not Jewish law.

When a Jew dies why do people sit next to them until they get buried?
it is believed that the person will be able to see their body when they die and in order for the soul not to be frightened a person will keep the body "company" and show that the person was loved and cared for in their life. that is also why a bosy according to judaism is buried as soon as possible

How many buried at Arlington cemetery?
2,500 according to the Arlington official site. However some Jewish scholars claim the number is higher. There is one Jew who is not buried, but is remembered at Arlington; Ilan Ramon's body was vaporized during the destruction of Columbia, but he is remembered at the Columbia memorial in Arlington along with the rest of the shuttle crew.
