Looking for a dead quiet place to stop?

As a mildly humorous aside, here's the American etiquette for cemetery attendees (published by a funeral home in Illinois)

Things not to do in a cemetery
  • Don't walk on top of graves.
  • Don't sit or lean on headstones and other memorials.
  • Don't leave food on the headstones.
  • Don't make out.
  • Don't take photos without permission.
  • Don't blow horn in the cemetery.

Don't kill or bury anyone !
Don't use a rotavator !
Don't take flowers for your GF !
Don't give Burke and Hare a lift !
 
Stayed in a church carpark not far from Hereford, can't remember the name unfortunately. Carpark and church were separated by an orchard, any misgivings we felt were soon gone when a group arrived for dog obedience training. We can only assume they were locals.
After they left we came across 3 piles of dog poo. It was the people who needed training and not the dogs I guess.
Izzy is a regular church goer and has gifted thousands of pounds over the years. We have not taken any church water but wouldn't feel bad about it if we had to.
Don't remember ever sleeping in a cemetry and doubtful ever will, particularly now that Rob has made some valid points regarding other people's sensitivity.

Water is not owned by anyone here as its cost is within the rates we all pay, and no Irish person would stop at night near a graveyard for sure, you just never know.

I think it's the means of getting the water which is owned Trev, like taps, standpipes and the ground where they are situated.

Still all free here Rob if outside, if inside you must ask but something which is never a problem here.

Does that mean you can wander into somebody's garden and use their outside tap without asking Trev?

No but if one is outside a church yard wall or anywhere there is no bother, inside a private house boundary is a no no unless you ask.
Mind you Rob street taps are now becoming a thing of the past over here, there were lots when i was young, and even cowtail pumps.

Whilst I agree about never useing public toilets and I don’t ever use them for emptying my cassette I feel you need lessons on emptying I use my toilet at home and have never had to go to the lengths of covering floors and the like there is no splash back when I empty mine your clearly doing it wrong, yes it’s a bit smelly but no mess.

I find if you flush the toilet at the same time you tip the cassette, there will be no splashback.

Never parked up in a cemetery or taken water . Robmac's post certainly means I won't be doing it .
I do have a RADAR key . Not disabled but take 10 pills a day, 7 of which 'may cause diarrhoea' . MAY my arse .
Have , occasionally , emptied in public toilets . I see nothing wrong with it as long as you leave the place clean and , most important , aren't seen by the public.

Some of the folk using public loos leave a bigger mess than and camper would, talk about taking salts, must be fecken summersaults.
 
I have just "stumbled" on this thread (as I rarely leave the bikers forum.)
I just can't understand why anyone would want to camp at a cemetery?
Totally Astonishing!
I agree with Rob. Its disrespectful. Not only to the departed souls but also their visiting loved ones too
and, as for debating the whys and wherefores about emptying loos and filling up with water???
I despair. Back off to the biker's forum now, where much more important things are discussed.
see ya

I agree with the above .
Not being disrespectful but another consideration is that cemeteries are not usually near the pub !

If that is true then you are disabled, you should apply for one, but you might have to ladle it on a bit as they seem to think if you are breathing then you can manage.

There is that ....

To be honest I've wandered around many many cemeteries in different places many of which have been in stunning locations ...
The only thing that would stop me parking in one of those locations is respect for the families/visitors of people buried there etc ....
I really wouldn't want to be the source of someone's upset from myself using the carpark as a 'campsite'
