In his will, Rav Shteinman left a series of instructions for behavior and conduct to be followed after his death. The instructions are interesting and show the focus and humility of Rav Shteinman and are worth reading through if you can. I have posted the text of it below, taken from other news sources.

Among the instructions is included a command to not eulogize him, not before the funeral, not after, and not in any way using any other word for the gathering. As well, not to write articles about him in the newspapers and magazines, and not now, not in a week or in months, etc.

Rav Chaim Kanievsky was asked whether this needs to be adhered to or not. He was asked this question by private people and by representatives of the newspapers and magazines.

Rav Chaim Kanievsky replied that Rav Shteinman had written his will with tremendous humility and his family must adhere to his instructions. However, the rest of "klal yisrael" is obligated to show him the honor and respect due to the generations leader and everyone is obligated in his honor. We must increase the honor of torah and having such events and articles will increase the honor and increase "kvod shamayim". Rav Shteinman now will be very pleased with every bit of praise said about him.

the debate seems to be is it considered honoring him by fulfilling his wishes and refraining from eulogies and articles, for example, or is it honoring him by ignoring his instructions and talking about his greatness in eulogies and articles? Rav Kanievsky paskened that the family is obligated by his instructions but the rest of us are obligated to honor him and singing his praises is the greater honor.
