From Concept to Reality

Picture This On Granite was proud to provide its services and expertise for the realization of the Martin Luther King Jr Granite Memorial Monument, located in Anchorage, Alaska, United States. An existing Park cement base was given new life through the re-facing of this cement base. The memorial monument needed to be restored and the portrait of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. was PGHDTM laser etched into the granite to perfectly create the effect of reality. This memorial dedicated on 06/20/12, in Anchorage, Alaska, will forever be a place where those who wish to pay homage to Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and reflect on his messages.

Once professionally crated by our team, this civic granite memorial was successfully shipped by truck approximately 7,000 kilometers,4,300 miles to Anchorage Alaska, where it was installed. In fact, we have shipped to the Middle East and Hawaii, which gives us the confidence to handle your project.
