Custom Granite Veterans Memorial Monuments in Tennessee : Honoring service, preserving legacy and built for communities across the state.

Tennessee has a proud tradition of military service, with generations of veterans who served in every major U.S. conflict. From Memphis and Nashville to Knoxville, Chattanooga, Clarksville, Johnson City and the state’s rural counties, Tennessee communities continue to demonstrate strong commitment to honoring their veterans.

At Picture This On Granite (PG Memorials), we proudly support this mission by designing and installing custom granite veterans memorials across Tennessee. Our turnkey process (consultation, artwork, engineering, fabrication, delivery and on-site installation) ensures that every memorial reflects the values, history and service of Tennessee veterans.

Dedicated to Supporting Veteran Communities Throughout Tennessee

Tennessee is home to more than 400,000 veterans and a robust network of statewide and regional organizations dedicated to veteran support and recognition. We align our work with groups such as:

• Tennessee Department of Veterans Services (TDVS) :  The statewide agency responsible for providing benefits assistance, outreach, memorial programs and support for veterans and their families.

• Tennessee Veterans of Foreign Wars (VFW Tennessee) :  A strong statewide network of VFW posts supporting advocacy, remembrance programs, veteran assistance and community outreach.
  

These organizations ensure that Tennessee’s veterans are properly recognized. Our granite memorials support that mission by preserving their stories with lasting precision.
