Chesed Shel Emeth for most of its tenure did not have any synagogue affiliation as most cemeteries do. Affiliated at this time with Chesed Shel Emeth are Menorah Park, the orthodox community, as well as a number of burials from members of the Russian community.

For many years, Chesed Shel Emeth had been neglected and vandalized and the cemetery upkeep was a topic in the community and thus the Commission on Cemetery Preservation, made up of lay leaders from the community, was established by the Jewish Federation of Cleveland. The Jewish Federation took control of this cemetery in the early 1990s. A fundraising campaign was established to take care of capital needs and since that time improvements have been made.
