Editor’s note: This article was written in February 2020, before the passing of Warren Riles. Riles and Woolley decided to keep the article like it was and not make any changes.

Riles & Woolley Monuments is located at 39 Main Street, Forestville. The owners & founders are Warren H. Riles & Mark L. Woolley. They are members of the Monument Builders of North America.

Riles & Woolley Monuments is now over 30 years old, being formed as partnership in 1989. They are still the innovative, full time, full service monument company.

Some of the services they offer are: pricing right on every monument to ensure equal pricing for everyone, designing by computer and by hand to be able to custom create or duplicate designs, do their own lettering and designing in the shop (not in the quarry). They are one of the only companies in Western New York to have their own staff to do diamond tip hand etchings for that high quality detail designing on black granites.

They accept major credit cards, have multiple displays, add final dates and mount veterans plaques on gravesites in the cemetery, providing foundation work for many local cemeteries and creating mausoleums. They have completed numerous memorials for area organizations, including but not limited to “In Memory of the Unborn” in St. Mary’s Cemetery, Dunkirk and the first memorial for The Disabled Veterans of America in New York State, which is located at the Dunkirk Lighthouse.
