Yes. However, the mortgage must be paid. Some mortgage documents contain a clause that requires the balance be paid upon transfer. You should inform the bank of your plans. Perhaps they will allow the grantee to assume the note. Or, if you intend to reserve a life estate, perhaps the bank will allow you to keep making the mortgage payments.

When someone dies what happens to the mortgage loan?

It is normal for people with a mortgage loan to have a life insurance to cover the amount of the loan. If this is the case the insurance will pay off the loan and the property will become part of the dead persons estate in its entirety and (after inheritance tax) the heirs will inherit it. If there is no insurance then the outstanding balance of the mortgage becomes a charge on the estate of the deceased and if there is not enough money available to pay this, then the house will have to be sold to realise this money. If after the sale of the house the estate is still short of funds to cover the mortgage (after funeral expenses are met) then the mortgage company will have to take that loss.

The husband has his name only in the mortgage deed and mortgage insurance if he dies would mortgage company get the house or would the wife?

The mortgage insurance you are referring to is most likely the standard mortgage insurance that is on a loan above 80% of the value of the house. This MI covers the lender in case of the borrower defaulting on the loan. It does nothing to help the borrower. If you are on the deed then you still own the house if your husband dies but if you cannot either refinance the mortgage or continue to pay the monthly payments then the lender will ultimately foreclose on the house and repossess it. What you need is a life insurance policy that will pay off the balance on the mortgage in case of the death of the mortgage holder.
