Civil rights activist Jesse Jackson denounced the "epidemic of murders in the country."
"We have become too violent, too full of hate," Jackson told reporters before the service. "We need training, employment, housing, access to health, a reconstruction project. Poverty is a weapon of mass destruction."
Tensions have been on the rise in Baltimore since Gray's death, which his family's lawyers say was caused when his spine was mostly severed following his arrest.
Six officers have been suspended with pay pending the outcome of a police investigation that is to be submitted to state prosecutors by Friday.
The US Justice Department, which was already looking into Baltimore's use of force, has also opened its own civil rights probe.
Police confirmed Gray requested medical help and an inhaler after he was detained and acknowledged that he should have received medical attention sooner.
They also revealed that Gray, contrary to policy, was not buckled into his seat in a police van, which made at least three unexplained stops on its way to the city's Western District station, now the scene of nightly protests.
Gray's arrest was caught on video by bystanders, and he can be heard howling in apparent pain as his limp body is dragged into the van.

And still no National Guard. The governor has ordered them to Baltimore, but WHERE are they? This mayor girl person is the definition of delay, delay, delay, and under manned police forces ALL DAY LONG.
The mayor sister said the Baltimore police will decide how to best use the Guard. She has proved herself to be a useless incompetent, and it is 10:00 PM EST. STILL, no Guard.
And Baltimore burns.
When the sun set it was going to get even worse. I’m just sitting at home and I know that. So you KNOW the powers that be knew that.
Mayor says “I’m sad but I’mma start that curfew tomorrow so more people can die.”
