【哀榮】1.《論語‧子張》：“其生也榮，其死也哀。” 何晏 集解：“故能生則榮顯，死則哀痛。”後因指生前死後皆蒙受榮寵。 唐 杜甫 《八哀詩‧贈左僕射鄭國公嚴公武》：“ 匡 汲 俄寵辱， 衛 霍 竟哀榮。”2.特指死後的榮譽。《隸釋‧漢廣漢屬國侯李翊碑》：“終而有禮，哀榮兼殊。”《魏書‧元澄傳》：“﹝詔﹞諡曰 文宣王 ……百官會赴千餘人，莫不歔欷。當時以為哀榮之極。” 明 宋濂 《故茶陵譚氏墓志銘》：“哀榮之禮，允謂兼至。” 魯迅 《且介亭雜文末編‧關於章太炎先生二三事》：“這也是和 高爾基 的生受崇敬，死備哀榮，截然兩樣的。”

posthumous honors
Found it in the New Age Chinese-English dictionary, which I think should be authorative. :)
Note from asker:
| Thanks, in this context, the language (register) I use is largely literary. So, actually "after death" would sound more natural... But your rendition is certainly very close to what I tried to propose. Cheers |

扬名显亲。但哀荣不敢少。故在俗应办之礼节 总其一生，以吾之平常人伦
说明死者是平常人，‘哀荣’是‘应办之礼节。而不是 ‘指生前死後皆蒙受榮寵’。

| 根据这个语境，您说的却有道理。根据Last Hermit给的参考“明 宋濂 《故茶陵譚氏墓志銘》：“哀榮之禮，允謂兼至。” 魯迅 《且介亭雜文末編‧關於章太炎先生二三事》：“這也是和 高爾基 的生受崇敬，死備哀榮，截然兩樣的”。。。似乎也是在说礼数之类。。。先谢谢了 |
