Brutus was not at the funeral (it would be kind of inappropriate for the killer to show-up). It was Mark Anthony who gave the funeral speech.
He said he killed Caesar not because he didn't love him but because he loved the people of Rome more.
During Caesar's funeral, Antony refers to Brutus as an honorable man. This is said sarcastically as Brutus was a traitor to Caesar.
Brutus sets these rules for Antony to abide by; 1. that Antony will not blame Brutus and the conspirators " You shall not in your funeral speech blame us" 2. to speak only of the good things Antony can think of about Caesar "speak all good you can devise of Caesar" 3. ensure that he [Antony] informs the plebeians/people that he is only speaking at Caesar's funeral because he was given permission to, by Brutus and co. "And say you do it by our permission" 4. that Antony will speak in the same pulpit where Brutus is going to speak "and you shall speak in the same pulpit whereto I am going" If Antony does not agree, then he "shall not have any hand at all about his [Caesar's] funeral" Hope that helps
Anthony hates Brutus and views him as a traitor throughout the play. His funeral speech which Brutus believed would be vindication coming from a friend, instead praises Caesar and regards Brutus with a contempt that is readily seen by the Roman people.
Et Tu Brutus
Anthony tricks Brutus into letting him give a soliloquy at Caesar's funeral. He uses the opportunity to sarcastically implicate Brutus and Cassius in Caesar's murder. He says that Brutus considered Caesar "ambitious" using his speech to use Brutus' own words against him.
At the funeral. And he does deliver them at the funeral, but does not realize that the people are not in the mood for rationality at that point.

Brutus and Antony.
In "Julius Caesar", Brutus tells Antony that he can't blame him and his co-conspirators for Caesar's death. He is told to say only the positive things he can remember about Caesar, and to let the plebeians know that the only way he is able to speak at the funeral is by Brutus' permission. Finally, Anthony can only speak from the platform where Brutus is to speak.
One reason Brutus allows Antony to speak at Caesar's funeral is to show the people of Rome that they have nothing to fear and to gain their trust. Another reason may be to uphold the appearance of honorable behavior and to maintain that the conspirators acted out of love for Rome. It also gives Brutus and the conspirators the opportunity to present their side of the story and justify their actions.
Brutus does.

Brutus allowed Anthony to speak at Caesar funeral because he wanted him to eulogize his friend. He also did that because he was fair and compassionate.
