In death, evoke praise (10)
I believe the answer is:
felicitate
'praise' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'in death evoke' is the wordplay.
'in' is an insertion indicator.
'death' becomes 'fate'.
'evoke' becomes 'elicit' ('elicit' can be a synonym of 'evoke'**).
'fate' enclosing 'elicit' is 'FELICITATE'.
(Other definitions for felicitate that I've seen before include "Praise" , "toast" , "Give best wishes to" .)
