About 414 people – mainly children – who died in the Jonestown tragedy of 1978 are buried in a large hillside gravesite at the Evergreen Cemetery in Oakland, California, a site which is marked by a headstone and four granite plaques, listing the names of everyone who died.
Many other bodies were claimed by their families and buried in cemeteries all across the United States.
This page presents photographs of approximately 125 memorial markers outside of Evergreen which this website has located. The alphabetical listings below include the name of the person who died – including a hot link to their biographical boxes on the Who Died list – followed by the name and location of the cemetery. The photo of the marker is below that.
This listing also includes cross-references to alternative names – for example, if a woman is buried under her birth name instead of the name by which she was known in Jonestown – with links to the names as they appear on the Who Died list.
This page is a work in progress. We welcome the submission of any photos you might have of other markers to either remoore@sdsu.edu or fieldingcgehee@yahoo.com. Thank you.
Note: This page was initiated after Jeremy Hall submitted photos of three grave markers in Ohio. In addition, the work on this page would not have been possible without the steadfast and painstaking research of Sarah Rex. We thank both of them for their contributions.
