Placentia Bay Region ~ Placentia Bay East District

Great Barasway - Great and Little Barasway Cemetery

Great Barasway is a small fishing village located about 10 Km east of Placentia, along route 100. The cemetery is along the coastal side of the highway, overlooking Placentia Bay. It is easily accessible and in very good condition. The majority of headstones are relatively new. The cemetery is the burial site for two communites - Great Barasway and Little Barasway.

The headstones were read, recorded and transcribed by FRANK KING, July 2000. While we have endeavored to be as correct as humanly possible, there could be some typographical errors.
