whoever made the original would have to change it. Doctor, coroner and they would need a good reason to do it.

It depends on the local law. Each country/state have its own rules. A death certificate is usually available within a few days even if the cause is still being determined. Under the cause of death section of the death certificate, officials will usually put "Pending" or "Under Investigation". This allows a funeral to take place without an extended waiting period . When the cause of death is eventually determined, such as through toxicology and or microscopic study of the organs, an amendment to the death certificate is filed showing the cause of death.
Can a death certificate be issued without the cause of death?
Yes. In many jurisdictions anyone can order a death certificate. Therefore, for reasons of privacy the cause of death is not always recited in a copy or the cause of death is redacted. The death certificate is still valid as proof of death when used for legal purposes where proof of death is required. In that case, one would not know if the cause of death was included in the original death record.Most jurisdictions require that the cause of death be included in the original record of death for purposes of vital record keeping. However, it is not always included when a copy is ordered. An example of the rules regarding access to the cause of death for New York:For all other death certificates, cause of death is available for deaths occurring on or after January 1, 2010. You are entitled to the cause of death if your relationship to the decedent is the spouse or domestic partner, child, parent/legal guardian or the person in control of disposition as written on the death certificate. To obtain this information, check the appropriate box (# 20) on the death certificate application.

To collect on a life insurance policy do you have to have the death certificate with the cause of death or can you use a death certificate that does not have the cause of death?
A death certificate with the cause of death is usually required on life insurance policies. It depends on the insurance company, the type of policy and what its terms are. An insurance company will most likely require a death certificate with the cause of death, because the cause of death is important in all life insurance claims. If the policy is one for accidental death benefits only, the company is entitled to know and the beneficiary has to prove that death was accidental. An insurer is entitled to know whether death occurred as a result of suicide, which might not be covered by a standard life insurance policy. Also, an insurance company is entitled to know if the death was a homicide that the beneficiary had something to do with, because that would render the beneficiary ineligible to collect benefits.
