Jews are generally buried wrapped in a white shawl. Often a male is buried with his tallit (prayer shawl) and his tefillin (phylacteries). I have heard of one occasion where a highly respected rabbi was also buried with a Torah scroll. That's pretty much it.

Do Germans prefer cremating Jews' dead bodies or burying them?

Since you wrote the question in the present tense, it is worth noting that since World War II, the German government and people have allowed the Jews to bury their dead as they see fit. As concerns the Holocaust, which was likely the thrust of the question, Nazi Authorities preferred to cremate the Jewish bodies and then bury the ash. In this way, the dead Jews would take up far less space and their burial would be correspondingly more efficient. However, as the Allies, especially the Soviet Union, were advancing on numerous Concentration Camps and Death Camps, the Nazis decided to forgo the cremation and just bury the Jews in mass pits. This change in murdering style would occur roughly within a week of the Allied arrival in the camps.
