What information is listed on a death certificate?

Question:

What information is listed on a death certificate?

Other than the cause of death, what will be on the death certificate? Parent's names of the deceased? Furneral home name? Spouse name? Childrens's names? Last home address? ETC...........???

I am thinking of ordering one for our family genealogy research for a death that occured in 1993. I don't want to waste my money on a certificate that only has the cause of death.
