I'm not sure it's used like that somewhere, rather it must be a necrodulity mistake.

It can mean excessive veneration of the dead. Devotion to the dead. Reverential worship of the dead. The term Necrolatry should be better used.

NECRODULIA from the Greek necro, 'dead, death' and dulía, 'servitude' In English there is no word ending in -dulia and there is only dulía and hiperdulía, referring to the cult that is paid to the angels and saints, and to the Virgin respectively. Then the term should be NECRODULÍA, meaning cult that is taxed to the dead. However, the accepted term is NECROLATRY
