Custom Granite Civic Monuments in Nevada : Honoring civic leadership through personalized, expertly crafted granite monuments.

Nevada’s civic identity is defined by resilient community leadership, frontier history, Tribal Nation heritage, educational advancement, cultural innovation and economic development shaped by mining, industry and public service. From Las Vegas and Reno to Carson City, Henderson, Elko and rural communities across the Great Basin, Nevada’s cities and counties commemorate their civic stories through meaningful public monuments.

At Picture This On Granite (PG Memorials), we design and fabricate custom granite civic monuments that honor Nevada’s leaders, community contributors, historic events and cultural achievements. Each installation is fully personalized, crafted from premium granite and engineered to bring your community’s narrative to life.
