Is it legal to bury your friend?

First, you make sure that they are really and truly dead and not just unconscious or in some sort of coma.
Then you drag the body to an open area or to an area where there is some sort of natural formation that you can easily recognize again or that can be easily located by rangers or anyone familiar with the area.
Next, you make a barrier around the body with rocks, and you cover the body with medium size rocks so animals don't scavenge their remains. You don't want to be the one explaining to the authorities why all they ever found was your friends left foot and belt buckle three miles from where you said this all happened.
Burying your friend is a bad idea, as you won't be able to bury them deep enough using only your hands or small tools to prevent animals from digging them up before you can get back with the authorities. It's probably legal, but it really isn't a very bright idea.
Carrying your friend back would be next to impossible, as dead weight is much harder to carry than a live person. And if you have to travel back for so long that rigor would begin to set in, it would be absolutely impossible. A noble gesture in thought, but next to impossible in reality. Unless your dead friend is a very light dwarf, this simply isn't going to happen.
Then you turn back and go get help.

I think burying is the right thing to do, assuming carrying his body back to civilization is not possible. It doesn't have to be his permanent resting place, but burying him keeps his remain safe from animals and the elements until others can come retrieve him and give him a proper burial consistant with his wishes.

I dont know if its legal or not but i'd suggest not to I would pick up my friend on my shoulders and go walk to a phone it might be miles bit if the friend is very important to me I would.I would stop once in a while, but I'de get to the nearest phone and contact someone right away. But If the person i called suspected that i so called killed my friend than i would start to cry or somtin like that.

Personally, i would mark that spot, find someone to help and a phone, then come back for them. Notify the family of course, and that is that.

I would build a fire and have a fiest, then smoke his head to preserve it and place it in my backpack. At least his family would then have something to bury.

You were planning to return, so leave your friend, secured. Return to civilization and call 911. Go from there, if you had anything to do with it you must confess, or forever hold your peace...
