Keening

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

The traditional keening at the Irish wake added an emotional element to the farewell ceremony.

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.

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