elegy, eulogy (nn.)   

 

An elegy is a poem, typically one memorializing and praising the dead or (loosely) one with a mournful and gloomy contemplative tone; it may also be a piece of music of similar topic and tone. 



A eulogy is a speech, formal and elegant in form, in praise of someone recently dead.
