If someone speaks to a statue expecting to get prayers answered they have an idol. If someone prays to a dead relative they have an idol and are practicing necromancy.
Psalm 115:5-8
"5 They have mouths, but they cannot speak;
They have eyes, but they cannot see;
They have noses, but they cannot smell;
7 They have hands, but they cannot feel;
They have feet, but they cannot walk;
They cannot make a sound with their throat.
8 Those who make them will become like them,
Everyone who trusts in them."
Deuteronomy 18:10-13
"10 There shall not be found among you anyone who makes his son or his daughter pass through the fire, one who uses divination, a soothsayer, one who interprets omens, or a sorcerer, 11 or one who casts a spell, or a medium, or a spiritist, or one who consults the dead. 12 For whoever does these things is detestable to the Lord; and because of these detestable things the Lord your God is going to drive them out before you. 13 You are to be blameless before the Lord your God."
