West Arlington Association owned the overall cemetery, but its sections were sold to about 20 other benevolent societies, most belonging to a synagogue or temple[1] in the surrounding counties of Hudson, Bergen, and Essex.

This is their second cemetery (their first is fully abandoned), in use since the early twentieth century, possibly during the era of Mintz' ownership.

A local Conservative synagogue, Congregation B'nai Israel of Kearny and North Arlington, has space between the cemetery road and the Newark sections.

A new association took over the cemetery, and promised to have full time staff five days a week, and to maintain the site well.

As of 2020[update] the cemetery is in very rough shape, with many fallen, sunken, or broken gravestones and grave vaults; dilapidated or missing gates and fences; sinkholes or animal burrows; and a crumbled office and maintenance building.

In the late 1980s, a monument company, Sanford B. Epstein, Inc. (sometimes known as Kenilworth) took over management, maintenance, and interments[5] on behalf of the associations, both active and defunct.
