Photo of Greenwood from a tour bus featuring the B.P.O.E

It was established in 1852 by the Firemen's Charitable and Benevolent Association (i.e. New Orleans Fire Department) to relieve the congestion caused by the yellow fever epidemic.

The BPOE monument features a bronze elk standing on a burial mound. A clock with hands pointing to the 11th hour, symbolic of a ritual toast to absent members, adorns the pediment. The tomb was erected in 1912 by Albert Weiblen, a German immigrant and one of the most successful builders of tombs and cemetery monuments in the South.
