There are several memorials on the Falkland Islands themselves, the most notable of which is the [[1982 Liberation Memorial]], unveiled in 1984 on the second anniversary of the end of the war. It lists the names of the 255 British military personnel who died during the war and is located in front of the Secretariat Building in Stanley, overlooking [[Stanley Harbour]]. The Memorial was funded entirely by the Islanders and is inscribed with the words "In Memory of Those Who Liberated Us".<ref name="FITB">{{Cite web|url=https://www.falklandislands.com/things-to-do/1982-liberation-memorial-p673571|title=1982 Liberation Memorial – Things to Do in the Falkland Islands|website=falklandislands.com|access-date=14 February 2018|archive-date=15 February 2018|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180215023946/https://www.falklandislands.com/things-to-do/1982-liberation-memorial-p673571|url-status=live}}</ref>

During the war, British dead were put into plastic [[body bag]]s and buried in mass graves. After the war, the bodies were recovered; 14 were reburied at [[Blue Beach Military Cemetery at San Carlos|Blue Beach Military Cemetery]] and 64 were returned to the United Kingdom. Many of the Argentine dead are buried in the [[Argentine Military Cemetery]] two&nbsp;kilometers northeast of the small settlement of Darwin, approximately 82&nbsp;kilometers west of Stanley. The Argentine government declined an offer by the UK to have the bodies repatriated to Argentina.<ref>{{Cite episode |title=1982 Falklands |url=http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b007t0w9 |access-date=20 October 2011 |series=20th Century Battlefields |credits=Peter Snow, Dan Snow |network=BBC |station=BBC Two |airdate=16 July 2008 |quote="After the war the British government offered to return the bodies of the Argentine dead to Argentina for burial, but their government refused.
