My friend had her Jewish friend die in the US, I guess her trip is not quit over. For the life of me, I have never heard of this, also it would be heck to marry a Christian if you are Jewish, since they do not allow being buried in the same cemetery in Israel.

This tradition of burial in Israel is grounded in a number of Jewish sources, the best-known of which may be the teaching that during the time of the messiah, all Jews will be resurrected from the dead, and according to statements in the Midrash, those buried in Israel will be resurrected first. Those buried elsewhere will be brought to the holy land through underground tunnels, according to statements in the Talmud and elsewhere.
