A joke that is meant to be light-hearted, and bring light into an otherwise dark situation can be a very healing thing. I've found in life that humor and laughter can heal all wounds. If you can't laugh at something you're taking it far too seriously, if you ask me.
A joke made with malicious intent is another story. Why make fun of someone who is dead? They're gone. Malicious jokes are rarely funny in the first place, anyhow...
For the record, dead baby jokes are always, always funny!
