Keep in mind that there may be an instance where you should not enter the "cause of death" to protect the family. This is especially true if the death occurred recently.

If the death was more than a century ago, then it is likely that there will be no living survivors and so it will not matter.

I ran into one instance, where the death certificate stated in bold letters, "Idiot". There is no way I'm going to enter that. Obviously, there was some underlying cause, but being an idiot (for an adult) does not make much sense.
