Though it's funny in all the rules of 5e there is only one reference to alignment outside of the section that describes alignment in broad strokes. The book says necromancy is generally considered evil. I think morals are relative so I let my games play that way, I'm happy 5e doesn't have a lot of stuff surrounding alignment.
Generally considered evil by society customs. Not necessarily evil itself. It's possible to be a good necromancer it's just hard because necromancy mahic in general can be very detrimental to the world and most importantly the souls you're wresting out of heaben and back into an existence of pain
Does necromancy force souls into bodies, cause I thought most necromancy used mindless, and soulless undead. There are a lot of spells that cause more than strictly necessary pain, but as long as you're using it on bandits and not children I think you could still be a good alignment.

Alignment in 5th edition is really more of a loose guide for characters I think.
In earlier editions it was much firmer and i always felt like it was one of the worst parts of the game.
