The Sacrament of Last Rites is offered to those who are gravely ill or in imminent danger of death. This gives the recipient the opportunity to confess their sins, receive absolution, and receive the final anointing.
The Funeral Rite focuses on the fact that life has changed rather than ended. The main theme is the resurrection of the soul.
Funerals may be held at a Funeral Home or Cemetery or other appropriate place for those previously cremated.
