Eastern Last Rites
Are Eastern rites different from the western? Can someone give me a step by step of what happens? If possible the text that the priest uses in the Ukranian rite?

Traditionally this service requires 7 priests. There are 7 Epistle readings, 7 Gospel readings, 7 prayers of anointing then 7 anointings.
Most often today it is done by 1 priest doing just 1 of each, and in immediate chace of death just the 1 prayer of anointing and anointing.
This same service is usually done on the evening of Holy Wednesday for everyone, not just those in danger of death.

There aren't even 7 Ukrainian priests in my area within a 3 hour drive. Maybe if you include the Orthodox.

Re: Eastern Last Rites
I have never heard of 7 priests at a last rites services,not even in the old country.
When a person dies, if you contact your priest right away, (as per my own experience when my dad died) the priest said he had to get there within1 hour of the death.
In any case, I'd contact my priest first because after all, what is more important than the soul.
Then you make the arrangements with the funeral home, with the priest doing the parastas on the last day of viewing (a real tear jerker) and the panachyda the actual funeral mass.
After that,the cemetery with those prayers and all depart.
I am a health care worker. TRUST ME. Please everyone make your plans ahead of time as your family will not know what you want.
