If you ask a friend to help you bury a body and they agree, that person is definitely a good friend. They're a bad person for assisting you in murder, but you can be a good friend and a bad person.

Counterpoint: You’re the bad friend for asking your friend to help you with a dead body
Yeah, this shower thought is awfully judgy coming from a (presumably hypothetical) killer.

A good friend will help you bury a body.

Read into that what you will...
My best friend is Victor Frankenstein is how I read it.
Nah, you have the right kind of friend, they don't just help but the body, they kill the fucker for you and you never know there's a body
