When a medal is given to someone after they die, it is conferred or given after death, posthumously.

Posthumously means that it was done after the fact or death, such as a book or song by an author/singer being released after the authors/singers death (called a Posthumous Work), or a baby being born after/during the Parent's death (called a Posthumous Birth).
