Matrimony
Matrimony is the sacrament by which a man and woman bind themselves for life in a lawful marriage and receive the grace to discharge their duties.

Anointing of the Sick

Funeral
“In Christ the hope of blessed resurrection has dawned, that those saddened by the certainty of dying might be consoled by the promise of immortality to come. Indeed, for your faithful, Lord, life is changed not ended, and, when this earthly dwelling turns to dust, an eternal dwelling is made ready for them in heaven.” (from the Roman Missal prayers for a funeral)
