No. A deacon can perform baptisms and assist at marriages and distribute Holy Communion. However, a deacon cannot perform a marriage or consecrate the Eucharist. He also cannot perform the sacraments of Confession, Confirmation, Holy Orders, or Anointing of the Sick, although he may be present for Confirmations. A priest must do the rest of these duties.

In the Catholic Church, only a priest or bishop can administer the Sacrament of the Anointing of the Sick, which is often referred to as last rites. Deacons can assist in the sacramental process, such as praying with the sick or facilitating the presence of a priest, but they do not have the authority to perform the sacrament themselves. However, deacons can offer comfort and support to the family and the dying person during this time.
