Speech in praise, especially of the recently deceased (6)

I believe the answer is:

eulogy

(Other definitions for eulogy that I've seen before include "parting words?" , "Speech of high praise" , "Funeral tribute" , "Accolade" , "Speech highly praising someone" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
