Which alternative rock band from Montreal released the 2004 album 'Funeral'?

The alternative rock band from Montreal that released the 2004 album Funeral was Arcade Fire.

Funeral was Arcade Fire’s debut studio album, released in North America on September 14, 2004, through the independent label Merge Records. Although the band is often described as indie rock, its sound blends alternative rock with chamber pop, art rock, baroque pop, and orchestral instrumentation.

Much of the album was recorded at Hotel2Tango in Montreal in 2003 and 2004. Its title reflects the deaths of several band members’ relatives during the recording period, while songs such as “Wake Up,” “Rebellion (Lies),” and “Neighborhood #1 (Tunnels)” helped establish the group internationally. The album’s emotional themes include grief, change, memory, and the loss of childhood innocence.

A common mix-up is treating Funeral as a later breakthrough album; it was actually Arcade Fire’s first full-length release. The band followed it with Neon Bible in 2007 and The Suburbs in 2010.
