Cypress Grove was opened in 1838 specifically for the volunteer firemen and their families. Many surviving family members had their dead disinterred and moved here, once it was in operation. Located at the very end of Canal, this is one of the smaller cemeteries, but still really interesting. The above is a society tomb originally opened for one of the fire companies, built in 1840.
It's located close to the entrance and is so white it absolutely gleams.
