Riles & Woolley serves in times of need<br />
<strong>The</strong> Riles & Woolley<br />
Funeral Home is dedicated<br />
to honoring the life of<br />
every individual.<br />
Combined with Riles &<br />
Woolley Monuments, the<br />
company works with a<br />
commitment to assisting<br />
families in remembering<br />
their loved ones.<br />
<strong>The</strong> way people want to<br />
be remembered is a personal<br />
choice, which takes<br />
some consideration. Riles<br />
& Woolley wants to assist<br />
local residents with these<br />
important decisions.<br />
<strong>The</strong> Riles & Woolley<br />
Funeral Home is located at<br />
39 Main St. in Forestville.<br />
In addition to Forestville,<br />
it serves Sheridan, Silver<br />
Creek, Irving, Hanover<br />
Center, Smith Mills,<br />
Perrysburg South Dayton,<br />
Arkwright, Fredonia and<br />
Dunkirk.<br />
Founded in 1927, by the<br />
late Franklin Philbrick, as<br />
Philbrick & Philbrick<br />
Funeral Chapel, Warren H.<br />
Riles became the owner of<br />
the funeral home in 1970.<br />
While Mark Woolley’s partial<br />
ownership became official<br />
in 2002, he has been<br />
working for the funeral<br />
home as a licensed funeral<br />
director since 1989.<br />
Through its long local<br />
history, the owners have<br />
strived to serve the community<br />
and surrounding<br />
areas in the best ways possible.<br />
To continue the goal of<br />
excellent service, Mr. Riles<br />
completed two large additions<br />
and a full renovation<br />
of the funeral home in the<br />
spring of 2001.<br />
In 2001, they added a<br />
new entrance, which contains<br />
a grand foyer with a<br />
handicap ramp, a set of<br />
extra deep handicap steps<br />
and an arrangements<br />
office. <strong>The</strong> other addition<br />
includes a new spacious<br />
viewing chapel — which<br />
allows the funeral home to<br />
have three viewing chapels<br />
— and a new embalming<br />
room.<br />
Numerous renovations<br />
were made, including new<br />
restrooms, a new comfortable<br />
and relaxing color<br />
scheme, new music and<br />
public address systems, a<br />
larger seating capacity, offstreet<br />
handicap and regular<br />
parking, a two-lane exit<br />
driveway and heated sidewalks.<br />
Multiple community<br />
members joined the owners<br />
in a dedication service,<br />
which was held on April<br />
29, 2001 to honor the new<br />
improvements.<br />
