I took a quick look in the Pnai Yehoshua under Bizayon Haimeis and did not
see this listed.  I do recall learning that the above is considered a
bizayon.  Maybe the Biyzayon is that the immediate family  & community could
not take care of their responsibility themselves.

As to RTK's more general concern, I would think it cuts both ways.  If many
of the people doing the taharas are not halachically Jewish then many of the
people having taharas done on them are not halachically Jewish.  Also, if a
C or R community has a Chevra Kaddisha, there will be more awareness &
education in that community regarding traditional Jewish practices in this
areas.  This will lead to more people following these practices.
