Keening

The keening sound of the ambulance pierced through the silence of the night.

As the casket was lowered into the ground, the mourners erupted in heart-wrenching keening, expressing their sorrow.

The ancient ritual involved participants keening together to honor their ancestors.

The women gathered in the cemetery, their voices intertwining in a mournful keening that honored the departed.

The keening voices of the choir brought tears to the audience's eyes.
