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.

The young child stood by the graveside, keening for his pet dog that had passed away.

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