The Barbados Military Cemetery is located at Needham's Point, adjacent to the Barbados Hilton hotel.

The Barbados Military Cemetery was established around 1780, though the earliest clearly identifiable grave dates to 1822. Tucked within the World Heritage Site of Historic Bridgetown and Its Garrison, this cemetery stands as a quiet yet powerful tribute to those who served.

Still an active burial ground, it is reserved for individuals who served with the Commonwealth Armed Forces and members of the Barbados Defence Force. The site is immaculately maintained, offering a dignified resting place for military personnel and a solemn space for reflection.

Entry to the cemetery is free of charge, though donations are kindly welcomed. These contributions support the ongoing preservation of the cemetery and other important military structures on the island.

Beyond its role as a final resting place, the Barbados Military Cemetery is a poignant reminder of the island’s contribution to global conflicts and its enduring ties to the Commonwealth. A walk through its grounds is not just a step into history, but a moment to honour service, sacrifice, and legacy.
