If a laugh is what gets you through it, I don't see any problem with telling a joke. But if it's just taking cheap shots at a dead guy, I think that's kind of tasteless.

Got to agree there, I'd much rather have my family an friends laughing about the stupid/silly things I did in life then crying because I'm no longer alive. I even believe in that enough that I wrote absolutely no funeral or viewings allowed, cremate me and bring my ashes to a wake.
Mind you I do think that if the dead person in question was getting cheap shots long before passing on why stop now?
