A vocal critic of Russian President Vladimir Putin, Nemstov was gunned down while crossing a bridge with his girlfriend near the Kremlin on Friday night.
Alex Navalny, another opposition leader, was banned from attending the funeral along with several EU politicians.
In line to pay their respects, several mourners doubted the criminal investigation would result in justice.
“His death represented that there are no limits for those who want to destroy any other opinion in the country except the Kremlin’s,” one mourner told ABC News.
No arrests have been made and no motive has been established.
