From Mitch4, who notes, “Is this speech directed to the deceased or to the veiled woman at graveside? It reads like it would have to be partly each.”
If we can’t even tell that much, it’s definitely a CIDU, I think!

Or maybe it’s the veiled woman who is speaking. No matter which way it makes no sense to me.
“It was me the whole time” makes me wonder if someone was posing as his/her own girlfriend.
My guess is that the man standing beside the grave is addressing his comments to the deceased, and that the veiled woman is the “secret girlfriend.” I am by no means certain of that, though.

I think @Powers has it. The veiled person IS THE “DECEASED”, showing up at his own funeral and pretending to be his own girlfriend.
We don’t know why he did that. And it isn’t funny. But that’s the implication.
Thanks, the Powers / Carl Fink theory makes sense to me. The speaker’s head is inclined towards the “girlfriend” but his “you” has to be for the “departed”; so the faking-his-own-death plot explains both.
