Custom granite fire department memorial monuments in Florida : Honoring Florida firefighters through lasting granite monuments.

Florida’s fire service community is one of the most dynamic and diverse in the country, responding to hurricanes, flooding, maritime rescues, large structural fires, wildland incidents, medical emergencies and major mutual-aid operations.

Across the state — from Miami, Orlando, Tampa, Jacksonville, St. Petersburg, Tallahassee and Fort Lauderdale to Pensacola, Gainesville, Clearwater, Sarasota, Key West and fast-growing suburban districts — firefighters embody courage, integrity, brotherhood, duty, sacrifice and deep commitment to community.

These values inspire communities across Florida to commission custom granite fire department memorial monuments that honor their fire service heritage and those who protect the state every day.

At Picture This On Granite (PG Memorials), we design and fabricate custom granite fire department memorials and detailed firefighter monuments that honor Florida firefighters with dignity and permanence. Each monument is fully personalized, crafted from PG Certified Granite®, and engineered to withstand Florida’s climate — including coastal humidity, intense UV exposure and storm conditions.

Supporting Florida fire service organizations

Florida benefits from strong statewide associations that provide leadership, training, safety initiatives and support for firefighter families. These organizations frequently collaborate with departments planning new memorial installations.

• Florida Fire Chiefs’ Association : A statewide organization dedicated to fire service leadership, professional development and public safety excellence across Florida.
• Florida Professional Firefighters (FPF) : Representing professional firefighters across Florida, supporting training, safety, advocacy, community programs and family assistance.
• Florida Firefighters Safety & Health Collaborative : A nonprofit dedicated to improving firefighter safety, cancer prevention, wellness, training and behavioral health support throughout Florida.

These organizations reflect the values and traditions we honor with our granite firefighter memorials.
