It's really no different here. In my days as a funeral director, there were two separate occassions when the family of the deceased told me, when I came to their home to retrieve the deceased for embalming, that he had died of something other else, rather than telling the truth that it was an AIDS related death. It wasn't until the doctor signed the death certificate that I learned the true cause of death.
