Is it possible to mark a patient Deceased in registration without entering a date of death?

I don't believe it is possible, but you can mark them as inactive in registration. We recently did this with patients that were over the age of 110, and had not been seen since we implemented our EMR in 2009.

If you try to mark the patient as deceased in Centricity it will give you an error if you try saving the registration without the date of death. Instead you can mark the patient status as obsolete or inactive. I would suggest inactive. Obsolete is normally used by the system when patients are merged.
