Keening

The keening stench of decay emanated from the garbage dumpster, making it difficult to pass by.

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

As the funeral procession passed by, the sound of keening echoed through the streets.

The haunting melody of the keening bagpipes played at the memorial service brought a sense of solemnity to the occasion.

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