They're still around.

Most of them are secretive, and a lot of them are more than usually nonsensical (worshipping death is already silly because what do you expect as a reward other than death?). But there are still plenty of them around, though the vast majority of them are just people screwing around and not being very serious about it (that's always been the case, though).

If you're implying that such cults were substantially an outgrowth of Christianity rather than being something that humans have always done since prehistoric times, then you're remembering something wrong. Christianity is one of the very few religions that demoted Death from having a primary place in the pantheon, so Christianity-linked death cults tend to be an aberration among aberrations. That might make them stand out more to the casual observer.
