Whatsoever thy hand findeth to do, do it with thy might; for there is no work, nor device, nor knowledge, nor wisdom, in the grave, whither thou goest.
The Bible states we know nothing once we're dead and also states we won't awake from our slumber until the last trump when Christ returns.
Mary is still human. She's not a goddess. She will most definitely rise from the dead at the return of Christ and will even wear a crown as the Catholics insist she does even now.
The dead see and hear nothing.
Ecclesiastes 9:10
Whatsoever thy hand findeth to do, do it with thy might; for there is no work, nor device, nor knowledge, nor wisdom, in the grave, whither thou goest.

So is everyone dead? Because we serve a living God, and His kingdom is eternal life.
Explain then, why Jesus speaks with who you call "dead"
Matthew 17: 3 3 And, behold, there appeared unto them Moses and Elias talking with him.
Doesn't God hear the council and prayers of His wise men and women? Doesn't this mean Moses and Elijah are alive and with our Lord in heaven?
Moses is not a god, neither is Elijah, explain this then, if everyone who dies in the body stays dead.
