Did the Chevalier d'Éon receive Catholic Last Rites or a Funeral?

And if there was any public debate about it, it'd be great to see the primary sources (en francais ou en angalais, bien sur).

According to the obituary of d'Éon published in 'The Gentleman's Magazine' after their* death, in May 1810, they were 'attended by Pere Elisee' in their last illness. 'Pere' or Father Elisee would have been a French Catholic priest, of which there were many in London at this time, having fled Revolutionary France in the 1790s. The presence of a priest strongly suggests that the Last Rites were administered, although I can't find a source which confirms this. Although d'Éon was buried in St Pancras, London (a Protestant Anglican church), it was a popular burying ground for French Catholic émigrés, and undergoing Extreme Unction at the hands of a priest would not have precluded d'Éon from being buried here.

*I'm steering clear of his/her gendered pronouns, as d'Éon's own gender identity was not clear in their lifetime.

EDITED TO ADD: In the Catholic Church, the Last Rites and a funeral are not mutually exclusive... I assume you were asking whether Catholic Rites (plus funeral) OR a Protestant funeral were administered?
