You don't offer Liturgies for the dead?
normally no. I have heard of that happening in EO Churches, but that is more of a Western thing and not common. we do have specific services for the dead (like the one in the video), and there are prayers for the dead throughout the Liturgy.
Do you pray for the departed during the liturgy?
yep
Do you dedicate your Eucharist or office for them?
yep
Does the Divine Liturgy help both the living AND departed? Same with the Eucharist?
absolutely. since God is outside of time, it is never too late from His POV. if I pray for the soul anyone who is departed, Orthodox or not, God applies that prayer to the entire economy of that person's life, because He knew that I would pray that prayer before I prayed it.
