I have seen "widow" inserted after mothers name, and also "deceased" before the father. I think I remember seen "posthumous" written as well.
Just looking through different parishes of London on the LMA records, it seems to depend on the minister or curate as to how much information was recorded - some wrote the bare necessities and some recorded great detail. I seem to remember some comment on a baptism to the effect that the husband had been deceased a year or so !!

It would depend on each individual Vicar, some would not record parents, some would record parents and include info if they were dead others would not record the fact that they were dead.
