Jesus arrives at the scene where a girl has died in Matthew 9:23, Young's Literal Translation:

And Jesus having come to the house of the ruler, and having seen the minstrels and the multitude making tumult

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers

Minstrels are there, with a crowd of real or hired mourners, raising their wailing cries.

It was customary to hire professional musicians and mourners on such occasions. Yes, in those days, people mourned publicly with loud sounds. It was a way to cope with the loss of a loved one and reduce the pain of the heart. When your heart is broken, mourn. You will feel better.
