The original Chesed Shel Emeth Cemetery is on the west side of Hanley Road at Olive Street Road in University City. As more Jewish people moved west and the original cemetery outgrew its space, a new cemetery was launched in 1967 with the purchase of thirty acres at 650 White Road, near Olive Boulevard in Chesterfield.
In 2011, a new cemetery, called Beth Shalom, was opened within this burial ground specifically meant for converts to Judaism via non-Orthodox rabbis. The two cemeteries share the same office on White Road.
