The cremated remains of nine people who died in the 1978 American cult mass suicide and murder in a South American town have turned up in a defunct Delaware funeral home.
The Delaware Division of Forensic Science visited the former Minus Funeral Home along the 200 block of Queen Street in Dover last week after receiving a request to check out the site, officials said Thursday.
Once inside, officials say they found 38 containers filled with cremated remains from 1970 through the 1990s. Nine of those remains were identified as victims of the Jonestown, Guyana, massacre.

Not surprising and, sadly, not uncommon.
Particularly in this sort of situation where whole families died together (and were probably estranged from their extended families), you're going to have unclaimed remains.
I'm just surprised that there are so few.

The only difference between the Obama Cult and the Jim Jones Cult, other than the enormous size of the Obama Cult, is Jim Jones offered his followers poisoned Kool-Aid at the end, and Obama is offering his followers revolution, but the end result is the same: they lead their followers to self- destruction.

Just curious - how do you identify cremated remains? There were traces of Kool-Aid powder mixed among the ashes.
