Sorry, the only thing that pops up in my head when I hear "three dead characters" is Happy but dead, and other elements do not match.

Yeah, no, that's not it. Thanks, though!

By the way, to help narrow it down, the whole comic is in black and white.

Okay, here's some more info: the main characters come across a theater troupe, that they later end up joining. The troupe is led by a guy who, as a child, had his hands bitten off by a hippo at the zoo, and while his arms came back in the afterlife, he still likes to pretend they're gone and still wears his prosthetic hook hands (though he finally ends up discarding them when this was revealed to the main characters by accident).

One of the last parts of the comic (and just so you know, this comic wasn't especially long) dealt with the main guy leaving the apartment the three had gotten in the city, after a falling out for reasons I can't quite recall. However, he has feelings for the female member of the trio (as does she for him), and it's obvious that it's eating up at the two of them. After he leaves, he ends up joining a group of hobos, who help him when he decides to crash in on the theater troupe's play. Unfortunately, the girl and another guy ended up switching parts at some point, with her playing a male part and the dude playing a female part, so the main dude ends up kicking the girl in the jaw when he swings on stage from a rope (or cable, I forget) and confessing to (and then kissing) the dude. Thankfully, after giving him a good sock to the jaw, the girl confesses her feelings for him as well, and things end up working out well for everybody. One thing I remember in particular was that the old greeter was, at the end, convinced to go to the retirement village area, though he plans on making things much more lively around there, and the white-haired member of the main trio took over his job as greeter/decapitator of the newly dead.

Now I have, and unfortunately, it wasn't there either. Okay, here's another tidbit that may help it be found: I remember that the same site the comic was on began running another comic in its slot after it finished. I know absolutely nothing about the new comic, though.

It's "A Divine Dramedy" by Jim Tierney. It was one of my favorites a few years back. Unfortunately, the website it was hosted on (graphiteplayground.com) appears to have disappeared from the annals of the internet. Here's an archived version of the website, just to confirm: http://web.archive.org/web/20060409232827/http://www.graphiteplayground.com/ And here's the website now, unfortunately: http://www.graphiteplayground.com/index2.php Sorry for the outcome, but I hope that helps.

YES! YES! YE—oh......crap. Yep, that's it alright. Well.....I'm sure it can be found SOMEWHERE on the internet. At least now I've got a title to work with. Thanks a lot for giving me the info, though! This has been bugging me for a long time now!
