Opened in 1939, Holy Cross Polish National Catholic Cemetery is located on the east side of Old Commack Road in Commack, NY 11725. It stands on what was originally a 60 acre parcel, 45 acres of which were subsequently sold off, leaving 15 acres (6 in plots with 9 in reserve for future interments). The cemetery's chapel was completed in 1954.
It is owned and operated by Holy Cross Polish National Catholic Church, 159 15th Street, Brooklyn, New York 11215.
