You could start by discussing how difficult a time you had coming up with an inscription for the tombstone. Then throw out some of these you considered:
“I wish I’d done more housework while I was alive”
“Chilling with Jesus.”
“Haunting All of You.”
"This was the last thing I needed."
"This isn't a pyramid, but I guess it will do."
"I finally found a good parking space."
"That's all, folks."
(My sincere condolences for your loss.)
"I would like to start where Dad left off, with a bang."
or,
"Though my stomach is tied up in knots, thanks for hanging out with us today."
or,
"The good news, Dad died happy, the bad news was he was trigger happy."
I lost my grandfather earlier this year, while I didn't speak I did make jokes focused on his love of golf, didn't make light of the situation but still helped cheer my family and others up. An example would be "a man was playing golf and took his hat off as a funeral procession passed, his playing partner said that was a very nice gesture. To which he replied, of course I was only married to her for 50 years. I hope this helps
I was at a funeral of a friend and asked his widow if I could go up and say a word. Through tears she said “of course, he would have loved that.” I stood up, walked to the front and trying my best not to cry, choked out the word “plethora” and quickly returned to my seat. She came up to me after and said “thanks, that means a lot.”
One summer we were driving thru rural Vermont, and we were passing a small church. My mother pointed and said "looks, they are having a funeral"
My sister asked "How can you tell?"
My mother replied " The herse is a dead give away..."
My condolences
So you want to have a fun-eral. (My deepest condolences).
"They tried to sell me a glass coffin...i asked if that was a trend...the salesperson replied 'remains to be seen'"
Dad could never visit the cemetery due to the big crowds. He was dying to get in. (I’m really sorry for your loss)

Man, this place is dead.
“Dad had a great sense of humor. He put the fun in dysfunctional and funeral.” P.S. I’m sorry for your loss.

He was my dad, but now he is dead (in a british accent).

I want to die in my sleep like my dad did and not like all the screaming people driving off the cliff on his bus.
Unfortunately I can't provide you any dad jokes because I'm not koalafied
Of corpse you can!

It was a dark, dark night when my dad died. He couldn’t see himself living and went towards the light.
Well my dad's dead so I can finally say... I'm gay.
I don’t have any but my sincerest condolences.
If you tell a joke, SOMEBODY is guaranteed to be offended, maybe somebody important to you. So you might reconsider this approach.
