As someone who has lost both parents, I can say that both you and they would benefit enormously from such an act. If they died before you had a chance to say what you felt, you'd suffer. And they deserve to know how you feel.
I'd suggest not putting it in terms of an actual eulogy though - that might come across as a bit morbid and alarming. Simply write each one of them a letter and give it to them, and maybe you can tell them how you got the inspiration when you do. They will probably treasure it for the rest of their lives, and it could really change your relationships in a powerful way. I was going to say that maybe you could give them the letters as a birthday gift (or maybe on your birthday), but of course there's no guarantee they'll still be around then, so just do it now while you're inspired.
I sent my mother flowers on my birthday, and now that she's gone I'm so glad I did!
