Custom Granite Veterans Memorial Monuments in Alaska  : Crafted to honor service, preserve legacy and stand proudly within Alaskan communities.

Alaska has one of the highest per-capita populations of veterans in the United States. From small rural villages to major cities such as Anchorage, Fairbanks and Juneau, communities across Alaska have a deep and enduring connection to military service. 

At Picture This On Granite (PG Memorials), we are committed to helping these communities honor their heroes through custom granite veterans memorials designed with precision, durability and respect.

Whether your project is in Southeast Alaska, the Interior, Southcentral communities, the Arctic region or the Aleutian Islands, our team provides a complete turnkey process—consultation, artwork, engineering, fabrication, transportation and on-site installation—tailored to the unique climate and environmental needs of Alaska.

Honoring and Supporting Veteran Communities in Alaska

Alaska is home to more than 65,000 veterans and is supported by several key organizations dedicated to veteran services, community programs and memorial initiatives. We align our work with respected groups such as:

• Alaska Office of Veterans Affairs (OVA) :  The primary state office that coordinates benefits assistance, veteran outreach, programs, services and memorial initiatives throughout Alaska.
• Alaska Veterans of Foreign Wars (VFW Alaska) :  A statewide network of VFW posts dedicated to advocacy, remembrance, community support and veteran service programs.

These organizations help uphold Alaska’s commitment to recognizing and supporting its veterans and their families. Our granite memorials contribute to this mission by preserving their legacy with lasting craftsmanship and respect.
