Hello
I think she should be fine at the funeral. There will be plenty of other people around so he won't be able to harass her.
Your girlfriend should change her number when she gets a new job. Or she can simply contact the places she has handed her CV to and give them her new number. Unless she's applied for dozens of jobs it should not take too long.
If that doesn't work (as well as ignoring him in general) and she really can't change her number, she will have to report it to the police if he continues. Being harassed is no fun, it can cause a lot of anguish, and the police should take it seriously.
As others have said, advise your girlfriend to document the contact each time. The funeral doesn't count, as he must have valid reasons to honour the passing of your girlfriends mother and attend the funeral.
I hope it gets easier. In my experience, getting the police involved was the most effective thing.

OP you cant possibly guard your girlfriend every second of every day. There will be times like this when she will be alone and you have to be prepared for that. Inform the police immediately and provide them will all details of this man. Keep a record of all the text messages, phone calls and emails. Ask your girlfriend to not respond to him in ANY way. No replies whatsoever. Any single reply from her side will be misconstrued as interest from her part. Things will get fine eventually but be safe till then
