Interesting. The description sounds eerily similar to the "oppaari" in South India or "rudaali" in north. Very similar structures (though linguistically different, obviously). Usually old women wailing at deaths, uncontrollably, often hired to do so. Could possibly help those suffering the loss complete the grief process quicker and help those who refuse to cry to breakdown and let it go. The professional criers are often just able to start and stop wailing pretty much instantly too.
