Custom Granite Civic Monuments in New Hampshire : Honoring leaders, preserving civic history and built for communities across the state. 

New Hampshire’s civic history is defined by dedicated public leadership, educational excellence, cultural stewardship, Tribal Nation heritage and strong community values. From Manchester and Nashua to Concord, Portsmouth, Dover, Keene and smaller towns across the state, New Hampshire communities have long celebrated civic contributions through commemorative landmarks and public installations.

At Picture This On Granite (PG Memorials), we design and fabricate custom granite civic monuments that honor the people, events and public achievements that shaped New Hampshire’s identity. Each monument is fully personalized, crafted from premium granite and designed to bring your community’s story to life with accuracy and lasting impact.
