Well, from the link above I got a bit of a smaller number, though it is just as ridiculous:

Dr. Frank Minyard, New Orleans' coroner, has so far raised $250,000 of the $400,000 he says is needed to break ground on a mausoleum for the unclaimed bodies. For now, those 100 people rest in numbered plastic-wrapped coffins inside the unmarked warehouse.

Why is a mausoleum necessary, and why is FEMA at fault for not providing (at least) $400,000 to bury bodies 100 people when it costs on average $2500 for a typical burial? As much as I dislike federal organizations, I don't see why FEMA or "the Bush administration" would be at fault here.
