The ten stages of death were the strict rules adhered to by Catholics in ritual of dying:
1. A priest would be called to the house or dwelling of the dying, he would then bless it, and sprinkle holy water around the dying person.
2. The priest would then pray to God for the soul of the dying.
3. The dying person would then make a full confession on the deathbed.
4. The priest would then absolve their sins.
5. The dying would kiss a crucifix
6. Extreme Unction, the anointing of oils, would then be administered to the eyes, lips ears, hands and feet of the dying person.
7. Another chance would then be giving to confess sins and reaffirm their faith.
8. The dying would then take Holy Communion, known as Viaticum or the communion of the sick.
9. The Priest would bless their soul, and pray to God for their salvation.
10. The parish church ‘Passing Bell’ would be rung as they then passed away.
