While Kiryat Shaul still accepts new burials, it is categorized as a "closed cemetery" by Bituah Leumi, allowing the collection of fees.

The memorials include: Jews of Brest, Bukovina, Minsk, Kraków, Slonim, Zamość, Oświęcim, Radom, and Ivano-Frankivsk.

Nearby the entrance to the cemetery is the resting place of five of the victims of the Munich massacre – fencing master Andre Spitzer, wrestlers Mark Slavin and Eliezer Halfin, and coaches Kehat Shorr and Amitzur Shapira.

Among them – Alexander Penn, Nathan Alterman, Abraham Chalfi, Avraham Shlonsky, Tirza Atar, Dahlia Ravikovitch, Natan Yonatan, Shmulik Chizik, Moshe Shamir, Moshe Vilenski, Mordechai Zeira, Nahum Nardi, Daniel Samborski, Izhak Graziani, Hanna Rovina, Shmuel Rodensky, Yafa Yarkoni, Zev Sufott,[2] Amiram Nir,[3] and many more.

The structure is divided into shaded burial halls and shafts where vegetation grows under direct sunlight.
