I've never had a problem with all clerics being able to turn undead. To me its a function of faith and what cleric wouldn't have that?
Certain Clerics don't give a crap about undead, or, embrace them.
I'd go as far as to say *most* clerics don't give a crap about undead.
Using default 3rd edition pantheon as an example:
Gods that don't give a crap about undead
Boccob, god of magic. Necromancy is a form of magic too.
Corellon Larethian, god of elves, magic, music, and arts.
Garl Glittergold, god of gnomes, humor, and gemcutting.
Gruumsh, god of orcs.
Moradin, god of dwarves.
Nerull, god of death, darkness, murder and the underworld.
Yondalla, goddess of halflings.
Ehlonna, goddess of forests, woodlands, flora & fauna, and fertility
Erythnul, god of hate, envy, malice, panic, ugliness, and slaughter.
Fharlanghn, god of horizons, distance, travel, and roads.
Hextor, god of war, discord, massacres, conflict, fitness, and tyranny.
Kord, god of athletics, sports, brawling, strength, and courage.
Obad-Hai, god of nature, freedom, hunting, and beasts.
Olidammara, god of music, revels, wine, rogues, humor, and tricks
Vecna, god of destructive and evil secrets.
Gods that might give a crap about undead.
Pelor, god of sun, light, strength and healing. More humans worship Pelor than any other deity.
Saint Cuthbert, god of common sense, wisdom, zeal, honesty, truth, and discipline.
Wee Jas, goddess of magic, death, vanity, and law
Heironeous, god of chivalry, justice, honor, war, daring, and valor.
