Keening

The mournful sound of keening filled the air as the funeral procession made its way to the cemetery.

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

The widow sat alone in her empty house, keening softly for the husband she had lost.

The keening shriek of the fireworks lit up the night sky.

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