The death certificate will show the hospital because a witness (of the hospital) is required to sign the document. The obituary will be prepared by the family. If I die in a hospital away from my home, I would want my family to identify the hospital and also identify my home as where I lived a very happy life with my family. And, I would want my family to identify the "non-profit" organizations I belong to that benefited my fellowmen and include the town locations for those organizations.
