There are four Takbir's in the funeral prayers

باب التَّكْبِيرِ عَلَى الْجَنَازَةِ أَرْبَعًا

Humaid said: “Anas led a funeral prayer and said three Takbir and then performed Taslim. When he was told about it he faced the Qiblah and said the fourth Takbir and performed Taslim (again).”
وَقَالَ حُمَيْدٌ صَلَّى بِنَا أَنَسٌ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ فَكَبَّرَ ثَلاَثًا ثُمَّ سَلَّمَ، فَقِيلَ لَهُ فَاسْتَقْبَلَ الْقِبْلَةَ، ثُمَّ كَبَّرَ الرَّابِعَةَ ثُمَّ سَلَّمَ.
Sahih al-Bukhari 1333
حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ يُوسُفَ، أَخْبَرَنَا مَالِكٌ، عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ، عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ الْمُسَيَّبِ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ ـ رضى الله عنه ـ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم نَعَى النَّجَاشِيَّ فِي الْيَوْمِ الَّذِي مَاتَ فِيهِ، وَخَرَجَ بِهِمْ إِلَى الْمُصَلَّى فَصَفَّ بِهِمْ، وَكَبَّرَ عَلَيْهِ أَرْبَعَ تَكْبِيرَاتٍ‏.‏
Abu Huraira:

Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) informed about the news of the death of An-Najash on the day he died. He went out with us to the Musalla and we aligned in rows and he said four Takbirs for An-Najashi's funeral prayer.
