In the United States every death must be reported to the office of vital statistics in each state. That report is made by the medical examiner's office. Generally, there is no law that an obituary must be published in the newspaper. However, you need to check the law in your particular jurisdiction.

If a person dies owning any assets, their estate must be probated and a notice of the probate must be published in order to give any creditors an opportunity to file a claim against the estate.

What happens if the deceased have a mortgage but don't have a beneficiary?

It's unclear what this question is trying to ask, but I'll take a stab at it. When you said "don't have a beneficiary," it sounds like what you're trying to say is that the deceased died intestate ... that is, without a will. The estate of the deceased will be disposed of according to (local) law for those who die intestate, which generally speaking amounts broadly to "any creditors get their chunks, and then the family gets whatever's left; if there's something left but there is no next of kin, the state takes it." The mortgage (assuming the deceased is the debtor) becomes a liability of the deceased's estate. If the deceased is the creditor, then it becomes an asset of the estate. It will then be handled as any other asset or liability.
