"Memoria eorum" translates as "the memory of them" - in other words, others' memories of the deceased. Very common on war memorials - the motto of the Royal Canadian Legion is "Memoriam Eorum Retinebimus," or "We will remember them" (retain the memory of them).
The passage essentially means that [others'] memories of the dead will eventually fade into nothingness.
