Quoting IJUSTLUVIT: Which should be reiterated.
For Christians, Jesus said "If you believe, you will be saved" It sounds like your cousin believed.
The sacraments of the church, including the anointing of the sick and dying, are external rituals, meaningful and comforting, but not essential for salvation.
As you grieve, perhaps you also know that your cousin was a very good, christian person who did not need the external sign of a sacrament to be assured of a place in heaven, and that you can take comfort in that.
