The death certificate will list the individual's name, gender, date, cause of death and location of death. It will also include the person's date of birth, parents' names, occupation, and other personal data that is submitted by a surviving family member or another person.

A death certificate is a permanent legal record of an individual's death and is extremely important to the family of the deceased person. The information recorded on the death certificate is used for application of insurance benefits, settlement of pension claims, and to transfer title of real and personal property. Information recorded on a death certificate provides evidence of the fact of death and can be produced as evidence in a court of law.
The death certificate provides important information data on mortality that is used in a variety of medical and health-related research efforts. Mortality statistics identify the causes of death and help evaluate diagnostic and therapeutic techniques. These statistics are used to assess the general health of Texas citizens. Mortality statistics also help identify diseases found among specific groups of people and determines where medical research may have the greatest impact on reducing mortality. Statistical information is also used to allocate medical and nursing services and to follow the course of infectious diseases.
Because mortality statistics are no more accurate than the information submitted on death certificates, it is very important that all death certificates be completed and filed with accuracy and promptness.
So yes it will tell you the cause of your father's death!

Each state will vary, but for the most part the death certificate will list the cause of death.
