Keening

The mourners swayed and chanted in a keening rhythm, honoring the memory of the deceased.

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

The keening notes of the bagpipes resonated through the air during the memorial ceremony.

The traditional keening brought tears to the eyes of all those who listened, capturing the pain of loss in its rawest form.

The sound of keening could be heard from afar, drawing people to the funeral grounds to pay their respects.
