Can a catholic receive a funeral mass by a priest if they were not given last rites?

Yes. Sometimes it is not possible for a person to receive last sacraments (viaticum, anointing of the sick). That does not prevent them from a Catholic Funeral. As Catholics, in good standing, it is totally appropriate for them to have a Catholic burial.

Yes, a Catholic priest can give last rites to a non-catholic person, if the person asks. Priests are taught 2 different forms of the last rites. One is for Catholics, which includes the sacrament of the eucharist (the real last rite is to recieve the body and blood of Christ into yourself).

Why is Ophelia's funeral so brief and unceremonious?
"Her death was doubtful" says the churlish priest that is conducting the funeral. There is a strong suspicion that she committed suicide. Yes, I know Gertrude said it was pure accident, but she could have been lying to spare Laertes's feelings. In Catholic practise, a person who commits suicide cannot be given a proper burial or be buried in consecrated ground.

If a married Roman rite Catholic becomes a Ukrainian Catholic priest and then a year later attaches himself a Melkite Greek Catholic parish to which rite does he really belong?
In order for a Catholic practicing the Roman rite to be ordained a Ukrainian rite priest he would have to receive permission from his local ordinary to change rites. Once he had permission and changed rites he would then be a practicing Ukrainian Catholic and thus could be ordained in that rite. A priest from a different rite can celebrate mass in the parish of a different rite provided he has permission from his superior and the local ordinary. Usually this would not be done unless there was some necessity or shortage of priests. Some priests are given the rare privilege of being able to celebrate mass according to two different rights. Basically, unless he has become the official parish priest, it is safe to assume that he is still a priest in the Ukrainian rite and is probably just acting as a visiting priest, and "visiting" can be interpreted quite liberally. If he is now the parish priest, it would only be proper that he switch to the rite that is proper to that parish.
