There's nothing quite like having a telephone call wherein the person on the other end, filling out a form, asks not only for an emergency contact but "is there any religion you would like to list".
I'd thought of last rites, but with general, you don't know the person's going to croak until they're already dead. I don't know how Catholicism (or any other religion, really) feels about rites immediately AFTER death. My very limited understanding was that last rites required responses.
I suppose someone could make sure to get last rites before anaesthesia just to make sure. Is it okay to have last rites lots of times?

Yes, definitely. Any time there's imminent peril of death.

You can receive at least as many last rites as Bush & Blair gave "final warnings" to Iraq.
