This article sounds a lot like another recent article in the news: Of Course High Schooler Took Selfie With Dead Body, Posted it on Instagram!). Humor is a gift from God and I think there are many good and appropriate things Christians can laugh at (beginning with themselves!). But death isn't one of them.  The Bible says:

"And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment." - Hebrews 9:27

And

"For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ; that every one may receive the things done in his body, according to that he hath done, whether it be good or bad. Knowing therefore the terror of the Lord, we persuade men." - 2 Corinthians 5:10,11
