Just a quick google brought up Minnesota's online death certificate database:

The index should provide the first, middle, and last name of the individual, date of death, county of death and the certificate number. Index entries from 1908 to 1954 will not include date of birth, place of birth and mother’s maiden name. However, that information may appear on the certificate. Records issued after 1954 (the index currently goes through 2001) and those for 1904 through 1907 will include this information and may include birth date, mother’s maiden surname, and whether the deceased was born in Minnesota. The two most crucial pieces of information are the year of death and the certificate number because they will determine the location of the record on microfilm. If the original certificate was not completely filled out, the missing information will not appear in the index.

I dunno about other states, but in this MN case, it appears that the info is available--just go to the microfilm reader.
