In Chapter 8, Jay Gatsby has been murdered, so he is out of the story before the final chapter.
The final chapter consists of Nick Carraway's memories of what happened after Gatsby was murdered. He remembers the police questioning and he remembers the funeral. In particular, he remembers that essentially no one went to the funeral. He did and a few of the servants, but mostly people didn't care enough about Gatsby to go to his funeral.
The chapter ends with Nick going back to Gatsby's place for one last look. He looks out at the boats on the water and thinks of the meaning of Gatsby's life.
