I've been having a little think about that joke and come to the
conclusion that I was right all along. It does need to be re-written.

I would thus start the joke off:

I was walking through the cemetery this morning and saw a bloke
*crouching at a gravestone*.

Now you don't think there is anything amiss, and would expect the
bloke to be there "mourning". When you say you saw a bloke *hiding
behind a gravestone* you expect him to be up to something out of the
ordinary (i.e. not mourning) and the punchline is less effective. 

Small detail, maybe, but we know it's the attention to detail that
makes the difference.
