Nick writes this chapter two years after Gatsby's death. He struggles to find anyone to attend Gatsby's funeral - not even Daisy or Tom bother to show up. Gatsby's father, Mr. Gatz, travels from Minnesota for the funeral and shows Nick memorabilia from Gatsby's childhood that demonstrate his early ambition. At the small funeral, only Nick, Mr. Gatz, the minister, and a few servants are in attendance to pay their respects to Gatsby. After the funeral, Nick leaves New York and returns home, saying goodbye to acquaintances from that summer, including Jordan Baker and Tom Buchanan.
