The reason Jews bury people who pass away as soon as possible is because of the following verse (Deuteronomy 21:23):
But you shall not leave his body on the pole overnight. Rather, you shall bury him on that [same] day, for a hanging [human corpse] is a blasphemy of God, and you shall not defile your land, which the Lord, your God, is giving you as an inheritance."
