The word was not invented by ayu. Apparently it is something like a tribute speech in memorial of a dead person. Something like "message of condolence". I googled the sentence and it seems like there's a japanese word that translates into "memorial address"..it's something like " choushi" or "chouji". I wonder if it's a word commonly used in the military, in which funeral usually have honorable speeches about the deceased military, etc.
