Wedding or funeral (8)

I believe the answer is:

ceremony

(Other definitions for ceremony that I've seen before include "Formal service" , "Activity on a solemn occasion" , "Pomp, formality" , "Kind of ritual - don't stand on it" , "formal public occasion" .)

I've seen this clue in the Universal.
