Far better to let some very dedicated and knowledgeable volunteers do it through a well respected website such as this.
Would a councillor consider this a worthwhile local cause for funding I wonder?

I too think it would be difficult to make a profit unless they're planning on putting a lot of other information on it. A few burial registers won't do it, especially if the other pay sites get their hands on the data.
I'm sure we could transcribe the burial registers in a few days if allowed to photograph the pages (I would email 50% to Janwhin to speed up the process!..... only kidding
)
