I'm not sure what the context is for your "death record" but I would
think that an (Illinois) death certificate would be one type of death
record (county certificates, which sometimes differ from the state
certificates, may be another example).

The information on an Illinois death certificate changed over the years
(in general, older records have less information), but generally they
have the following information:

- Deceased's name, and date and place of death
- often has date and place of birth
- often has parents names and sometimes places of birth
- cause of death and other medical information and signatures
- usually has date and place of burial
- usually has an informant's name and sometimes an address
- funeral director's name and sometimes address
- etc.

Hope that helps some.
