In this case it’s less fraud and more the fact that it can take months or even years to undo a death certificate during which time one would experience undue hardship. Making it hard to sign is by design.

It should be noted that absolutely none of those goals were achieved by the above-mentioned poorly implemented biometric requirement. The only thing that achieved was inconvenience that needed to be worked around to get the real job done.
There's probably not a whole lot of massively society-impacting fraud in the death certificate system if a whole hospital can run off of technically fraudulent records when one guy is signing them all.
You could cut down on that by relaxing the technological attempts to "improve" it all and just let the legal system and humans address any actual abuse.
