It depends on what kind of ceremony.

Sometimes the sign CELEBRATION is used. Sometimes the sign for the event is used. That is, if it is a wedding ceremony, just WEDDING is used.

It depends on the context.

p.s. aslpro.com shows a sign for "ceremony".

The main dictionary under "C" give a video of "ceremony"

ah thanks... what sign for it if its being used in negative way like funeral or something? its certainly isnt a cause for celebration if someone died but we had a ceremony for it so what sign for that purpose?

You can use the sign FUNERAL, or you can list the events that are involved, such as a memorial service honoring the person at the church or funeral home, and then drove to the cemetery for burial. Then, all the friends and family gathered at a place to fellowship and eat.

Something like that.

If it was a celebratory event (happy) I'd use "celebrate"

If it was something that marked a less happy time, perhaps like a funeral I would use "service" or "event"(happen happen)

If it's referring to a formal ceremony that does not have a specific sign... I would do "formal" and "celebration".
