A formal speech or piece of writing praising a person or thing (6)

I believe the answer is:

eulogy

(Other definitions for eulogy that I've seen before include "parting words?" , "Funeral speech" , "Speech of high praise" , "Panegyric" , "Speech or piece of writing that praises highly" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
