      • St Adalbert Cemetery is a Roman Catholic cemetery located in Niles, Illinois. It is bordered by Milwaukee Avenue on the east, Albion and Hayes Streets on the south, and Harlem Avenue on the west. Various non-cemetery properties separate it from Touhy Avenue on the north. It is intersected at its center from north to south by Newark Avenue. Its main entrance is on Milwaukee Avenue, approximately midway between Devon and Touhy.


      History


      The cemetery is named for Saint Adalbert, the patron saint of Poland.
      The Mary, Mother of God Garden Crypt Complex was opened in 1990 in the northwest corner of the cemetery. It contains approximately 6,000 crypts.
