St Bernard's Cemetery is the believed name of this small, no longer used cemerery. There are appoximately 50 marked graves and plenty of open unused space. No signs mark the cemetery and you could drive by without even noticing it. It backs up to a church, however the church does not own the cemetery. I have been told that the cemetery belongs to St. Joseph's Church in Downers Grove, which was once know as St. Bernard's. The church has not been helpful in confirming or denying. The cemetery is mowed and cleaned by a private landscaping company. Due to a language barrier I was unable to find out who hired them. I don't know of a burial taking place here in the last 20 years.
