It means she buried one of her husbands alive.

This is a joke. It's saying that she had six husbands. Five of them died, and she buried them, as was appropriate. But one of them, she buried while he was still alive. Implying that she really didn't like that man. ;)

You can write: Jane buried six husbands, and one wasn't dead.

This means she buried one husband who was alive. Here is another way to express this. Jane has buried six husbands, five of whom were dead at the time.

It's a joke. It's a play on words. Normally when you say someone buried a relative you mean they arranged their funeral. The sentence implies that Jane literally dug a hole and buried one of her husbands alive. You are not supposed to take it seriously. You cannot say it differently without losing the intended joke, such as it is.

Jane's buried six husbands. They were all dead except for one of them.

All of them, except one, were dead.

Jane has buried six husbands, and they were all dead except for one whom she buried alive.
The sentence jokingly implies Jane hated one of her husband.
EDIT: Paul brings up a good point. The one husband Jane buries alive may mean she financially buried him...buried him in debt, implying she divorced him and took him for everything he had.

I think it's "all but one" you're having a hard time understanding. "But" can mean "except" and that's what it means here. "All except one".

It is a joke.
It implies that she buried one of her husbands while he was alive. It would be hard to rephrase it in a way that preserves the joke.

You can rewrite it like this: Jane buried six husbands, and one of them was not dead from all of them.

Simply add thus: "...were dead when she buried them".
