Yes. Sometimes it is not possible for a person to receive last sacraments (viaticum, anointing of the sick). That does not prevent them from a Catholic Funeral. As Catholics, in good standing, it is totally appropriate for them to have a Catholic burial.
Catholic AnswerIf you are a baptized Catholic, then you remain a Catholic your entire life. You might be a lapsed Catholic who is not attending Mass and services somewhere else, but that just makes you a Catholic who is not in a state of grace. Any Catholic is eligible for the Last Rites if they desire them, the first part of Last Rites is confession which means that you would be confessing your apostasy AND repenting of it. This is a very good thing, as you will die in a state of grace.
No, it is a Roman Catholic practice and is not Biblical.
Why not have a look at www.fisheaters.com or www.catholic.com for the answer? They're both excellent sources of facts about the Catholic Church. :)
The Last Rites for Catholic include several sacraments: Reconciliation/Penance/Confession, Confirmation (if the person hasn't received it yet ), Anointing of the Sick . . . and Viaticum (which is meant to be the last reception of Holy Communion for the journey from this life to eternity), along with the Apostolic Blessing, which carries a Plenary Indulgence (under the usual conditions).
The Last Rites
Baptism, first Communion, confirmation, marriage (or holy orders), last rites.
The term for the prayers said for a dying person is "Last Rites" or "Sacrament of the Anointing of the Sick." It is a Catholic sacrament performed at the time of death that includes prayers, anointing with oil, and the reception of the Eucharist.
Catholic AnswerThere is not a specific sacrament for the dying, I believe what you are referring to used to be known as Last Rites. Last Rites consists, if possible, of confession, Anointing, Holy Communion, and the Last Blessing, which amounts to three Sacraments plus the Blessing. The Last Blessing follows the Sacrament of Anointing (used to be called Unction or Extreme Unction) and the priest imparts the Apostolic Blessing which gives a plenary indulgence to the dying person.
The duration of Last Rites of the Dead is 1.52 hours.
Last Rites of the Dead was created in 2006-10.
