Thank you! I was specifically wondering if someone is Russian Catholic and doesn’t have a Bishop of their rite or a parish and is under the care of the Latin Ordinary, and attends a Latin parish… If when the time comes they could have a funeral in the Latin parish.
Your proper pastor, which would be the pastor that is assigned to care for you, is the one that has the authority to do the funeral.

Byzcath.org has this:

Russian Catholics are canonically subject to the Roman Catholic ordinary within whose geographic jurisdiction they reside. However, the following canonical accommodations presently exist as regards the Russian Greek-Catholic parishes in the United States:
  • St Andrew the First – Called Russian Greek-Catholic parish (El Segundo, CA)
  • formally committed to the spiritual omophorion of the Eparchy of Newton of the Melkites;
  • ***Our Lady of Fatima Byzantine ***(Russian Greek-Catholic) parish (San Francisco)
  • informally committed to the spiritual omophorion of the Eparchy of Newton of the Melkites;
  • Ss Cyril & Methodius Russian Greek-Catholic Community (Denver, CO)
  • informally committed to the spiritual omophorion of the Eparchy of St George in Canton of the Romanians;
  • ***St Michael the Archangel ***Russian Greek-Catholic parish (NYC)
  • currently served by Melkite clergy, but without any formal or informal commitment to of by the Eparchy of Newton of the Melkites.
 
Confession and anointing of the sick can be received from a priest of any sui iuris church.
…as long as you do not commit one of the sins which are listed as reserved in the Code of Canons for the Eastern Churches (CCEO). In such case, the priest needs to know whether you are of the Latin or one of the Eastern Catholic churches sui juris so that he can obtain the proper permission needed to grant absolution.

In that case, yes.

But that’s nearly a completely different question than how you phrased it originally.

If that Latin parish is indeed the person’s proper parish and the priest is the proper pastor then there is no issue at all.
