Eulogy: A speech or writing in praise of a person or thing, esp. a set oration in honor of a deceased person.

This comes from the Greek noun 'eulogia', which is a word chosen to be used in the Christian New Testament writers to represent the Old Testament Hebrew word 'baw-rahk' - a word that is usually translated to 'bless' in English Bibles. The root word is logos, the Greek word for 'word'. Eu is a prefix meaning 'good'. It is the spoken words about someone that is deceased about their life, memories of them, their accomplishments or how they have impacted your life.
