On the other hand, the NFDA would've done for free what Bush-cronies are doing for the money.

Are you kidding? I'm rolling on the floor, laughing out loud!

I worked in the funeral industry. You actually think your local overweight undertaker, who is accustomed to dealing with intact bodies, with an occasional gunshot wound, or drowning, thrown in, is capable of rolling into New Orleans and dealing with that dangerous environment?

Kenyon International exists for a reason. They know what they're doing since they've handled mass casualties many, many times. LeRoy from Heavenly Angels Funeral Chapel wouldn't have the first clue about dealing with unrecognizable cadavers, unbelieveable stench, and maggots crawling out of every orifice, day in and day out.

Your hometown mortician is good at what he does, and Kenyon is good at what it does. And they're worth every penny of what each makes.

If Kenyon is so good, why was FEMA dragging it's feet to sign a contract?

Maybe, maybe not. From the article I linked:

"Kenyon asked us to share the names and phone numbers of NFDA members and funeral directors who are interested in a paid three-week employment situation," the NFDA told its members. "If you have already volunteered with NFDA, we'd like to let you know about this paid option to help."

So, even though LeRoy hasn't a clue, Kenyon still wanted to pay them to do exactly what you said they were incapable of doing. Strange, no?
