Custom Granite Civic Monuments in Arizona : Celebrating Arizona’s civic identity with custom-built, precision-crafted granite monuments.

Arizona’s civic story is shaped by Tribal Nation heritage, public leadership, environmental stewardship, scientific discovery, artistic expression and strong community values. From Phoenix, Tucson and Mesa to Flagstaff, Yuma, Chandler, Prescott and smaller historic towns across the desert and mountain regions, Arizona communities commemorate important leaders and events through meaningful civic installations.

At Picture This On Granite (PG Memorials), we design and produce custom granite civic monuments that highlight Arizona’s public figures, civic achievements, cultural contributors and defining historical milestones. Each installation is fully personalized, made with premium-quality granite and built to preserve your community’s narrative for generations.
