The Bukit Timah Cemetery was a Christian cemetery that was used for the burial of Christians from 1865 to 1907. It was located at the city end of Bukit Timah Road near the junction of Cavanagh Road at the 2 mile post. The site is currently occupied by Kampong Java Park & the KK Women's & Children's Hospital Land for the cemetery had been purchased from the Honourable East India Company on 22 January 1864 and the cemetery was consecrated by Bishop McDougall of Sarawak. The first burial took place on 15 April 1865.



The cemetery was divided into two parts, with one an area designated for Roman Catholics and another for Christians of other denominations. The area of the cemetery was later extended, with a new section opened for burials on the western side. A small road divided the older and newer sections, and this was later named New Cemetery Road. In 1907, burials ceased. By 1956, the walls of the cemetery had been demolished, the grounds were overgrown by vegetation, and the eastern end of the area experienced frequent flooding. In addition, many of the memorials had collapsed. In 1971, the cemetery was finally closed to all visitors, and all the gravestones and memorials contained within were cleared.
