For the Haiti Earthquake victims there is no mortuary to call, no funeral director, no mortician to help. No government agency from Haiti,the US or anywhere in the world is helping with the dead. Fox News Video:
For MOST there is no place for a loved one to go except a mass grave.
Apparently there is no help coming due to an early decision by the US State Department and the US National Funeral Directors Association(NFDA) not to respond immediately.
For many dead there is only place to go a mass grave.

” Hundreds of Haitians — some still bandaged, many in tears — gathered in the parking lot of the destroyed cathedral here Saturday for the funeral of the archbishop of Port-au-Prince.
Revered as a humble servant of the poor, Msgr. Joseph Serge Miot, 63, died as so many others did: crushed by his own home. Priests and his relatives emphasized that his death was one among multitudes.
The vicar general of the main cathedral in Port-au-Prince, Msgr. Charles Benoit, died with him, and on Saturday the two clergymen lay in a pair of white caskets just a few hundred yards from the rubble that killed them.
Bishop Lafontant, meanwhile, implored the country’s Christians to see the cataclysm as an opportunity for growth.
“God had something to say and he said it here,” the bishop said. “He did it because he wants Haiti to become a new country.”
For most, however, grief and exhaustion still reigned. As the hearse moved out of the parking lot, the sister of Monsignor Benoit slapped the window, cried and screamed.via www.nytimes.com
