First Responder Tribute Slates
First Responder Tribute Slates
Honor the courage, service, and sacrifice of the paramedics, police officers, firefighters, EMTs, and dispatchers who protect our communities.
Albritton's Art™ creates personalized photo slates for retirements, promotions, graduations, awards, memorials, and meaningful appreciation gifts. Each slate can feature a favorite photograph, name, department, badge number, years of service, meaningful message, or end-of-watch information.
Paramedic Sarah Mitchell — Answering the Call
A smiling paramedic with her stethoscope and uniform patch, honored beside the Star of Life with wings and the words “Answering the Call.” A tribute that salutes the ones who show up when it matters most.
Officer Michael Carter — Serving with Honor
A proud officer in cap and badge, honored beside a shield-and-laurel emblem and the words “Serving with Honor.” The kind of piece that sits on a desk long after the ceremony is over.
Firefighter Daniel Reed — 20 Years of Service
A firefighter in turnout gear holding his helmet, honored beside the Maltese cross and the number 7 — twenty years of service set in stone for good.

Size comparison
See the sizes side by side, to scale
Every size is drawn below exactly to scale against the others, so you can see the real difference at a glance — standing on its own display stand or hanging on the wall.
All sizes, to scale

See it on stone.
Add your photo and see how it sits on the piece, before you order. Try each size and the piece changes shape with it — then nudge the crop and zoom until it frames the way you want.
This is just for seeing how a size looks. Nothing you add here is sent to us. Your real photo goes on your order at the upload step, and Wiley still shows you a proof before anything is printed.
Your photo appears on the piece here.
This is the preview only — it does not attach a photo to your order.
Try a size
The piece changes shape with the size, the same way a real one does — and the heart is a heart shape, not a rectangle.
Move the photo
Zoom
Preview only — your photo stays on your device. This tool just shows how a size looks. Nothing you add here is uploaded, saved, or sent anywhere, and it never reaches your order — the photo that goes with your piece is the one you attach at the upload step.
This is a preview, not the final proof. It shows how a centred crop will sit on the piece, but it cannot perfectly show how an image takes to real stone. Nothing is printed until you send your photo with your order and approve the design — and nothing you add here is part of your order.
Pick a size, add your photo, personalize it, and pay. Card payment goes straight to Albritton’s Art™, and you attach your photo during the order — promo codes, gift shipping, gift wrapping, the mini slate add-on, the multi-size order builder and the size guide are all there too.
Shipping available — standard shipping is $10 flat nationwide. Expedited shipping is $25 when selected (about 2 to 3 business days). The free-shipping offer applies only to standard shipping: free standard shipping on your first order over $150, through October 31. After that, $10 flat standard.
Sales tax is calculated automatically at checkout for your location. The exact amount is shown before you confirm — nothing to estimate, and nothing applied twice.
Sending it as a gift? At checkout choose “Ship it as a gift” — the address becomes the recipient’s, and a short message of yours is written by hand on a small note card that ships with the piece, so it arrives ready to give.
Prefer your phone? Text your photo directly to 740-610-1589 for a quick mock-up.
