Cueball appears to be at a job interview, proudly stating his motto to the interviewer Ponytail .
"Move fast and break things" is a saying common in science and engineering industries. In that context, it means that making mistakes is a natural consequence of innovation in a highly competitive and complex environment. In particular, it was adopted by Mark Zuckerberg at Facebook (who even went as far as to say that 'breaking things' is a necessary feature of moving 'fast enough' ).
While in software development it is unusual for any great harm to result from breaking things, the jobs listed in the comic are ones where there are serious consequences of mistakes. Some would result in dangerous or deadly situations, while others would just end up with broken packages etc. It's not clear what job Cueball is interviewing for; one suspects it's probably one that belongs in the 'breaking things is bad' group.
The results of moving fast and breaking things for the listed jobs might include:
The title text posits a morbid scenario where Cueball keeps running over funeral attendees, generating the need for more funerals. It also implies that Cueball is currently being interviewed for the position of driving a hearse, as he has yet to be fired.
