Is it possible to offer up all 7 of the sacraments for the holy souls, or only the Eucharist?

For example, 1 Corinthians 15:29 says “Otherwise, what shall they do that are baptized for the dead, if the dead rise not again at all? Why are they then baptized for them?”

Is it that these people were offering up their baptisms for those who were already dead?

Would it be possible to offer up one’s confirmation, marriage or anointing of the sick, for example?
 
You might offer this question up in the apologist forum.

We offer up masses and prayers for the intention of poor souls however all sacraments are meetings with Christ and the graces are bestowed on the one who is making the sacrament…whether confirmation or marriage, holy orders, penance or baptism.

And in order for the graces to be given fully, the person who is receiving the sacrament, they must be in grace, not in mortal sin…except in the instance of baptism, because it is the sacrament of initiation where original and personal sin is forgiven.
Perhaps you would like to explore the Catholic Catechism
