A Eucharist for a person in danger of dying is called a Viaticum, provisions for a journey because the Church used to think that there was a three day journey into heaven.
Roman Catholic answer: In addition to the Anointing of the Sick, the Church offers those who are about to leave this life the Eucharist as viaticum. Communion in the body and blood of Christ, received at this moment of "passing over" to the Father, has a particular significance and importance. It is the seed of eternal life and the power of resurrection, according to the words of the Lord: "He who eats my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life, and I will raise him up at the last day." The sacrament of Christ once dead and now risen, the Eucharist is here the sacrament of passing over from death to life, from this world to the Father. from the Catechism of the Catholic Church # 1524
Note: I know of no "three day journey" and there is none mentioned by the Church.
