Although these rules of etiquette are originally intended for someone planning to go to a
CO Beach, or Cloting Optional Beach, I find that they work well as rules of etiquette for a
Funeral as well.
Free Beach and Funeral Etiquette A Guide to Courtesy at Clothing Optional and Funeral Preparation Sites
Beach and Funeral etiquette is not much different from the same good manners that you should exhibit wherever you go in Lichtenstein. Be polite and respect the rights of others and others will do the same for you.
Gawking is Impolite Gawking, or staring at nude sunbathers or a dead body, is impolite. It is always rude to stare at others, but it is especially so when you use binoculars or a camera to look at nude people or someone lying in 'state'. If you came to a CO beach or a funeral to see for yourself what the experience is like, please, join in. You will have a great time. If you came to "look at the nudies" and or "look at the stiffies", do yourself a favor and buy a magazine and read it at home.
Obey all Parking Rules and Regulations Park only in designated areas. In some areas parking is limited and fills up early. If this is true at your beach or funeral home you can:
Arrive Early - before the crowds. Carpool - saving both gas and parking spots.
Give others a ride from the parking area to the beach or the funeral parlor. Someone may do the same for you.
Respect the Environment Keep out of the dunes or other areas that may be environmentally sensitive like the formaldehyde tanks in the mortuary. Many CO beaches are near dunes and other environmentally sensitive areas. We can loose access to CO areas and to funeral homes by impairing the environment and huffing formaldehyde.
Help Keep the Area Clean Bring and use trash bags. Always try to carry out more trash than you carried in especially the
"White Trash". Leave nothing but footprints, take only memories.
Get Dressed When Leaving Established CO Areas and Funeral Parlors Many of the CO areas while not strictly legal, are accepted by the local population. To avoid offending people, do not go nude into funeral parking lots or textile mill beaches.
Avoid Any Sexual Activity While nudity is sensual, avoid any hint of sexuality in CO areas. Complaints about sex in public have caused problems at several CO beaches and Funeral homes. Please, do not give the prudes an excuse to close down another CO Funeral recreation beach site.
Respect Private Property Show respect for the private property of others as you go to and from the beach an d funeral home. Don't litter or park on private property. Don't speak in
Farsi and don't listen to
Cajun music. It is however acceptable to ride backwards on a
Burro, in a
Tu-Tu, while eating a
Kumquat and holding a
Conch Shell up to your left ear.
Respect the Privacy of Others. Many folks come to the beach and funeral home to enjoy nature and do not want to be disturbed. It is OK to be friendly, but if someone doesn't seem to respond, please respect their right to privacy.
Be Prepared. Most Co beaches and funeral homes are remote and do not offer the services and amenities found at textile beaches.
Therefore you should bring everything you may need including:
Water and Other Beverages
Food
Cooler
Sunscreen
Towel
Chair or Mattress
Other beach Supplies
Condoms
Farm Livestock
Camcorder
Jar of Ether
Latex Medical Gloves
Saran-Wrap A framed picture of 'Rick James'
Finger Cymbals
A Dulcimer
Speak up for Standards If you see someone who is violating the accepted standards, please explain to them clearly and politely just how they are violating the rules and just what the proper behavior is.
I hope this helps Flea.
