The Beerburrum area was set aside during the First World War for soldier resettlement. With many men returning weak and injured, the area was selected for its suitability for light farming.
The first burial for the cemetery is thought to have been in 1920, the year following completion of the new Berrburrum Hospital. The full number of burials is not clear, with reports ranging from 14 to 38 graves. Most of those burials were returned soldiers.
By 1932, the settlement had failed, with the population declining to such low numbers that the hospital was closed. The last burial followed, a few years later, in 1932.
The cemetery is watched over by the students of Beerburrum State School.
