A person who eulogises or delivers eulogies; someone skilled in giving speeches of praise.
From Greek 'eulogia' plus the agent suffix '-ist' (meaning 'person who practices'). This distinguishes eulogists as specialists in the art of eulogy, not just occasional praisers.
The '-ist' suffix creates professional or habitual practitioners—a 'eulogist' is someone whose skill or habit involves eulogy, similar to how a 'pianist' specifically plays piano professionally.
