How about things like ...
"Hey be glad it's not you.
Did he leave you anything
What was he really like?
Do you wanna eat after the funeral?
How come nobody cried?
He looked so natural
Why all the Bond-O and Pancake
He's in a better place...maybe.
Good stuff like that!
What are some of your favorites?

Look man, I realize everyone deals with grief in their own way. Your way really sucks! Best thing for you to do is say nothing at all. Having just lost my mother, after watching her suffer a painful drawnout death ,I can honestly say that had you said any of those comments to me, then or now for that matter, God help you! Once someone pried my fingers from around your throat you would be joining my mother. Judging by your lack of compassion and cold heartedness the world would be a better place with out a jerk like you.

Something short and simple like
My condolences. Finished.
People at a funeral really want to be left alone, so the shorter you keep your messages, the more they'll appreciate it. Often subconciously.
