I couldn't find this word - though it seems close to eulogies: the speech given at a funeral about the deceased.

A eulogy is given at a funeral -- briefly, it tells something about the person who died, recounts the things that she or he will be remembered for, and talks about the things they did.
It's interesting that at some funerals, the eulogy forms the connecting point for some of the mourners, who may not know each other, but by learning something they didn't know about the deceased, they will find common points of interest with other people at the funeral.
The eulogy is sometimes given by a minister, if he or she knows the person well, or has worked with a member of the family, but is more often given by a close friend of the family.

Well, a eulogy is a praise or speech given about someone who has died. Usually given at the funeral by someone who knew the deceased real well. I guess "Eulogues" is just the plural form of "Eulogy."

A speech or writing in praise, especially a speech praising a dead person. It comes from the greek word: eulogia: praise.

It's the good words you have to say at somebody's funeral.
