Pericles wrote the speech as a sort of standard Eulogy for war heroes who died in the defense of (Greek) Democracy. It opens: Our form of government... In some ways it can be compared to the Gettysburg Address of Lincoln. It was performed by Pericles, NOT a memorial address for him, posthumously, your question seems ambivalent. Pericles was the Governor of Athens so ceremonial speech-writing fell to his hand.
