Keening

The keening voices of the choir conveyed the deep sorrow of the funeral service.

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

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

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

The somber, keening notes of the bagpipes filled the air at the memorial service, evoking a sense of solemnity and remembrance.

The chilling keening of the banshee sent shivers down the spines of those who heard it.
