  2. Here are some jokes you can tell your
    audience:

    "Friend died after being hit on the head with a tennis ball. It was a lovely service."
    "What do you call a coffee shop that used to be a funeral home? A decoffinated cafe."
    "At boss's funeral the other day. Leaned over the coffin and whispered, 'Who's thinking outside the box now, Gary?'"
    "Why did they put a fence around the cemetery? Because people are dying to get in."
    "What do you do with a dead chemist? Barium."

    1. I just got my doctor’s test results, and I’m really upset about it. Turns out, I’m not gonna be a doctor.

    2. My grief counselor died. He was so good, I don’t even care.

    3. Today, I asked my phone, “Siri, why am I still single?” and it activated the front camera.

    4. A man wakes from a coma. His wife changes out of her black clothes and, irritated, remarks, “I really cannot depend on you in anything, can I!”

    5. As I get older, I remember all the people I lost along the way. Maybe my budding career as a tour guide was not the right choice.

    6. I was digging in our garden and found a chest full of gold coins. I wanted to run straight home to tell my wife about it. Then, I remembered why I was digging in our garden.

    7. The doctor gave me some cream for my skin rash. He said I was a sight for psoriasis.

    8. Don’t challenge Death to a pillow fight. Unless you’re prepared for the reaper cushions.

    9. I don’t have a carbon footprint. I just drive everywhere.

    10. Even people who are good for nothing have the capacity to bring a smile to your face, like when you push them down the stairs.

    11. A man walks into an enchanted forest and tries to cut down a talking tree. “You can’t cut me down,” the tree exclaims, “I’m a talking tree!” The man responds, “You may be a talking tree, but you will dialogue.”

    12. My mom died when we couldn’t remember her blood type. As she died, she kept telling us to “be positive,” but it’s hard without her.

    . When my Uncle Frank died, he wanted his cremations to be buried in his favorite beer mug. His last wish was to be Frank in Stein.

    Why did the man miss the funeral? He wasn’t a mourning person.

    19. It’s important to establish a good vocabulary. If I had known the difference between the words “antidote” and “anecdote,” one of my best friends would still be alive.

    20. Want to know how you make any salad into a caesar salad? Stab it twenty-three times.

    Don't challenge Death to a pillow fight
    Unless you're prepared for the Reaper cushions

    What comes after death?
    A Necrophiliac

    How do we know that Death is a man?
    He always comes quicker than expected.

    When you're dead you don't wish that you were married.
