Posthumous Decorations????

I know so decorations and honours are given posthumously, but wonder
about the proper way of finding 'acceptance'. On the website of the
Royal Rwandan Court, the following are listed:

H.H. Sharif Ali Bin Hussein of Iraq

H.I.H. Crown Prince Reza Pahlavi of Iran

H.I.M. Empress Jasmin of Iran

H.R.H. Prince Osman Rifat Ibrahim of Egypt

H.M. Sultan Jamshid bin Abdullah Al Bu Said, Sultan of Zanzibar

H.E. Julius Nyrere, President of Tanzania*

H.E. Jomo Kenyatta, President of Kenya*

H.R.H. Prince Shwebomin Alaungpaya II of Burma

H.I.H. Prince Ermias Sahle-Selassie Haile-Selassie of Ethiopia

H.R.H. Crown Prince Pavlos of Greece

H.R.H. Prince Ahmed Rifat Ibrahim of Egypt

H.R.H. Princess Abbas Halim of Egypt

H.I.H. Princess Necla of Turkey and Egypt

S.E. le Noble Count Pier Felice degli Uberti, Comte de Cavaglià

H.R.H. Prince Georgii Iraklievich Bagration-Mukhrani of Georgia

H.I.H. Crown Prince Zere Yacob Asfa Wossen of Ethiopia

H.R.H. Dom Duarte Pio de Orleans e Braganca, Duke of Braganza

H.R.H. Dona Isabel Ines, Duchess of Braganza

H.R.H. Infante Dom Afonso of Portugal, Prince of Beira

H.R.H. Infanta Dona Maria Francisca of Portugal

H.R.H. Infante Dom Dinis of Portugal

Reading the footnote, the Grand Crosses were awarded to the former
Presidents of Kenya and Tanzania posthumously (who, incidentally, are
the only ones in the list who are not 'Royalty of Republics' club- how
can someone be the Empress of Iran????). What would be the procedure
for verifying acceptance? Why not award the Grand Cross to Winston
Churchill or Queen Victoria???
